Being a filmmaker (not just a director or just one role) means being a problem solver. Nothing but problem solving. You create a series of problems for yourself, you start solving them one by one, you end up creating more and more problems, but you keep conquering them, then you rejoice in your success... until you create another new project.

Just the writing part is a headache. I printed out 77 pages or so because it was chaos revising on the computer. I wrote a ton of notes as I read through. I haven't even written an appropriate ending and my story keeps changing (improving). As I flip through my paper copy, I make changes on the computer. But, I also start changing the story because there were a lot of weak parts. Had I written a real ending before, I may have had a draft and maybe I'd be on my 3rd or 4th revision. But instead right now it's like my 3rd or 4th version of something incomplete. What a problem eh? 77 pages became 84 pages suddenly even as I removed lines and lines of pointless self-notes and crap.

Let's see what happens in a week. I'm getting kind of happy with the progress I'm making.

For the record, I started writing before I watched many older movies which include similar ideas. It was original to me and that matters the most. It is a little frustrating to see it already done
