I finished the first draft of my pilot episode this week. Yay. My goal was to write an episode for this class which I accomplished. Though originally I had envisioned the episode being 50-60 pages and this turned out to be more along the lines of 28. But still. It feels right, and since it is for the internet I’m realizing that not all episodes need to be the same length or fit into a specific time slot or anything. I want to think of an episode as being more like a chapter in a book than a rerun of everyone loves raymond. Perhaps the reason that Netflix series tend to have each episode as about the same length is because they’re trapped thinking like tv. Maybe my goal in life is to break that way of thinking. Ooh lofty.

I’ve not been writing in my journal as much. I’ve been doing the typing thing which is nice but doesn’t have the nostalgia of the written or or my incomprehensible doodles. I’ll still print these out and put them in my notebooks but it won’t look as pretty.
