Day

Today I somehow managed to walk the line between connectivity and obscurity. It can be hard, but it's a balancing act. Balancing the amount of time you stay in your own head, and the amount of time you leave it. It's easy to stick to one or the other. We get comfortable on one side, and just eventually label ourselves by it, introvert and extrovert.

People walk the line all the time. Your processes shift. Home alone doing the dishes. Out with friends drinking beer. The trouble arises when you find yourself choosing one side when you're environment asks for another. Sitting with your friends at a bar, quietly picking at the paper label on your beer. Wishing you could go home and turn on the TV. Those are the moments we hate having.

Scripts are going well. Scenes come and go as usual, but the permanence of them becomes stronger. They're sticking more to the fabric of reality that they are conceived from. Rather than crying babies demanding attention, the scenes behave more as ghosts of the situation that could have been.

Scripts suffer when you're comfortable. You have nothing to talk about. You have nothing to say.
