I feel like I should clarify that when I say I want to write professionally what I mean is that I want to write scripts, specifically, and pad my income with mediocre genre fiction, lol. I don't know how realistically likely that is to happen, which is a constant source of anxiety, but it's still a dream~

I think it's good on the one hand that I'm not looking to write the next great American novel or what have you, because low standards, but on the other my "id" mostly wants me to write stories about people being snarky assholes to each other and making bad choices. Which, I suppose is in line with the bits of advice you've mentioned—which I really, really like and plan to revisit in the future when I'm getting down on myself about not being able to do plots, btw—but also makes me feel kind of like a one-trick pony at the end of the day.

I'll have to give those notes of yours a look when I get home. And re: the points game, I'm so, so with you on that. The level of anxiety I have knowing that I'm not only missing a deadline but missing a deadline in a way where I lose a thing, even if it's a point that doesn't really mean much, is killer. May or may not be why I haven't worked my way successfully through many Col. Kink prompts, lol.

Why is writing haaaaard??
