This is me being more open than usual.

Film-wise I’m always afraid someone’s going to see something I did and hate it and that is definetly something I have to get over, because experimentation is what I need right now. I had the wrong Idea. Sure, I have to re-write the end of the script I wrote last night (I’ll tell you why, remember that thing I said about me writing how I felt about the script into the characters? Well it’s totally just thrown into their out of nowhere, for example:

There is no reason for any of this. I don’t even know why I’m doing it. I’m just trying something out. Seeing if I can do it. I can’t even do this. Can’t even try something out. I’m not good at this. But it’s all I can do. I’m just trying it out. This is how it’s done, right?

I’m guessing. And it’s okay. But it’s not. This is bad. It was good. But it’s tainted by you. You can’t do it. I never thought you could though, so at least I didn’t fool myself.

Yup. Rewriting that shit).

I don’t know if I’ll ever show anyone it either. But I might as well experiment for free. I’m honestly more afraid of what my friends will think of this (since I know it is just such an experiment) I wonder if they’ll stop thinking I’m good.

Guess I gotta risk that. (Actually, James just called and he had an actually okay idea for the action film, pretty basic, but I probably won’t wanna make this anymore. Sigh.)

I will risk it someday.

_i think it’ll be great no matter what. at least you tried_

Your friends are probably the safest people not to be “good” in front of. Honest opinions will help you truthfully evaluate experiementation.
