Anyone else finding it hard to be motivated at the start of this new year? I’m drained!

I got coverage back for my first pilot tonight I was scared to open it as I didn’t want to read potentially tough feedback 2 hours before the new year. I took a chance & opened it. The reader LOVED IT! The notes are easy fixes and far less than what’s working!! #scriptsky #writersky #happynewyear

I’ve started watching swat and I like Nichelle but she is usually so wrong then plays like the voice of reason after she causes chaos! 😂🥴

I got new headshots yesterday and the photographer said they would be to me to choose until this evening because we shot 1400 photos 😩 that have to be narrow down to 5!!! Who wants to help me choose?! 🥴🥴

People say no one helps anyone. Not my experience. My #newbie came into big $ & starting a midwest writers' retreat (low $). Another asked ways to help newbs in his group. 1 writer invited another newb to show him how to design a package to attract actors. Kindness is also small. #screenwriter
