Made awkward eye contact with an Osprey flying overhead today

I love birdwatchers they’re like “I just saw my ALL TIME FAVORITE BIRD SPECIES! I’ve always dreamed of seeing one in the wild! I am ECSTATIC!” and it’s the most boring looking little brown bird you’ve ever seen.

Update: I finished it 🥰

I was so motivated to post screenwriting blog posts on here and I have them all ready and outlined then all the sudden… bang… I’m 50 pages into a feature.

Boy, do I hope I finish it…

How to Write on Final Draft (without it feeling so daunting)

It's incredibly difficult to open up a Final Draft document without feeling like you're literally writing your final draft, so here's a few features you can use your advantage!

1. Turn on dark mode

Dark mode makes it look like less of a script and more of an outline. Edit and rewrite in light mode, you will feel the difference.

2. Use speed view

Speed view gets rid of pages and page numbers and therefore you are only looking at the words you type.

3. Use focus mode

Focus mode removes the scenes, page numbers, and outlines you have at the top on the program while writing. Another way to forget about focusing on progress.

4. Make a messy beat board

Throw all your ideas onto the beat board, it should help make the document feel a bit more lived-in and less pristine.

Bonus:

5. Set a template with your formatting and use that to start every script you write

While a script format is very ridged, there are things you can do to personalize it. When you find those things, make them in a Final Draft doc (without actual writing) and save as your own template so you don't have to change all the elements every time.

Ingrid Bergman in Gaslight (1944) dir. George Cukor (2/?)

The fight between being an Ingrid Bergman fan acc and exclusively posting screenwriting guides is a fight well faught

(i still don’t know maybe i’ll alternate ❤️)

I’ve been writing which means I’ve been happy.

The two are mutually exclusive.
