I've been having a stream of very interesting ideas for films that I can see myself writing, but I'm unfortunately plagued by the constant feeling that I'm just not ready yet. I don't know this plot point well enough or this character's personality well enough and blah blah blah. I sometimes forget that I'm the one creating these situations. They so quickly take on a life of their own.

I wrote around 170 pages of my Big Story entirely convinced that I didn't have enough information about the setting or the characters for it to be any kind of interesting. I constantly worried about the eventual Brick Wall I was sure to run into, the place where I'd have to stop writing the actual events and work on the, ugg...details. See, this point in time was very different than any other; it's usually my habit to have an idea, figure out ever minute detail, write extensive back stories for the characters, and outline the events entirely, but never actually write a single word of the story. Many great concepts have lived and died in this fashion. I suppose this story was no different; I had the initial idea five years ago, and it slowly warped and changed over time into something I could actually write. After a very long period of writing the story, the Brick Wall was no where to be found. However the Carpal Tunnel Wall came up to hit me in the face. Wrists. Whatever.

I don't remember what my point was and I'm bored of this topic. I like writing. At some point, I'll sit down and write all these ideas. When I don't have carpal tunnel.
