It’s a good rule of thumb in life to take things in one’s stride with little ditties like:
– it’s gonna be okay;
– take a deep breath;
– five years from now, we’ll laugh uproariously about this moment.
The key word above is moment.
At this very moment, I’m questioning every goddamned thing about a project I’m grinding through.
It’s a project I’ve nourished for some time now, we’ve recently survived the I’ve fallen out of love with you phase, but right now, I’m asking embarrassingly basic questions like:
– what’s my hero’s motivation?
– what’s the theme of my story?
– how best can I begin my story?
I know the answers to all of the above for this project.
But they’re not enough.
Not right now.
Five years from now, I’ll chuckle gently about this moment.
For now, I’ll take a deep breath.
It’s gonna be okay.
