A Little Patience Goes a Long Way
I’m high off writing a new scene… I literally just put my pencil down a few minutes ago, and will give myself the night to sit with it before typing it tomorrow.
Immediately when I set the pencil to rest on the paper, I started thinking, “Now where the hell do I go from here?” But I’m trying to pull back and just “be” with this as it is in this moment.
It’s human nature to want to know where one is going and getting there…and I used to make outline after outline as I revised scripts, so I could know where I was going through each revision… but as the years have gone by, I have gotten better at pulling back on the reigns a bit and letting a scene speak to me in its own time and way.
It’s just a matter of patience and time…
