create and write culture-changing and consciousness-shifting hbo series that is completely engrossing, totally fun and brilliant

to the producer type who asked to see it. i dawdled for a good long while before sending it due to perfectionism. now, it’s out of my hands, but there’s definitely more i can do.

i think that if i do at least one thing every day in support of this goal and visualize regarding it every day as well then i will be lifted up and carried aloft and along by the universe.

A draft of the treatment and a multi-season story arc are done and copyrighted. Yay! It’s a miracle for me to be being so creative. Everyone I’ve gotten feedback from-all people I respect and trust-are enthusiastic and encouraging. I’m following my dream, people. It feels good and kind of astounding to me that I’m stepping up to the plate.

damn, i’m running out of time. i really need to get this done. now, i’ve stepped away from the script and am writing a treatment because a guy who owns a production company asked if he could see one for the show. i’ve been dawdling, but that stops now. i need to move forward and make choices and do it now. even as i write this, my propensity for procrastination is dwindling. it’s going. i’m super productiv and focused. i’m so inspired; the show practically writes itself. it’s all i want to spend time on and it’s what i do the minute i get home and during any and every free moment. i’m blissed out working on it. it’s dramatic and comic gold.

I have fifty eight days to go. I need to keep at it. I’ve found my attention wandering. I gotta go all Little Engine That Could on this thing: I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can…!!

okay, i’ve gotta say, i think i’m writing something complex, gripping, fun and original!! still more to do, but woo hooo! am really grateful to great HBO shows that have come before, esp. at the moment The Wire because it shows me how much challenge an audience could be up for and even delight in.

well, with some distractions, i’m still at it. as i write, i’m also downloading scripts for shows and especially pilots of shows i admire. so far, i have several characters, but only two of them are fully fleshed out and really people that an audience would enjoy, i think. now, on the advice of a savvy friend, i am mining my own experience and that of others for ideas. thanks for the cheers. i’m still in good shape to accomplish this by the deadline.

also, after viewing The Secret and taking that to heart am visualizing success with this. that mental, positive stuff is REALLY POWERFUL!!

made my choice and it’s coming in the mail!!! am really looking forward to transferring everything i have so far into the correct format and continuing!!! whhhooohooo!

damn! i’m bogging down on something miniscule!! totally not worth bogging down about. i’m hemming and hawing over which software to buy—Final Draft or Movie Magic Screenwriter. once i choose one, either one, it will be a mighty steed to gallop away into small screen success on. but i’m scratching my noggin’ downloading demos, reading other people’s ideas about the two. it’s time to decide. in fact, it may be time to make the “wrong” decision in lieu of no decision. well, i can see i’m blocked in a bullshit way. any suggestions????
all else ROCKS, by the way.
peace out and love in,

okay, since upgrading this to a time-sensitive goal, i’ve been hard (well, kinda hard) at work researching and writing!! in fact, if someone put a gun to my head (God forbid), i think i could crank out some sort of draft of the whole thing in 48-72 hrs. maybe i should try that. thank you, my most recent cheerer on this goal!
love,
mumzie

well i’m very led by my nighttime dreams…in good directions. and here’s what happened: i’ve had this goal and was working on it with a partner until we became involved in other projects. then recently, i was looking into changing careers and was beginning to think about about a certain healing profession. i researched it online and was giving myself permission and feeling kind of excited by the idea. then, that night i dreamed that cynthia nixon (the redhead on Sex and the City) told me over dinner at a fancy restaurant that i should write a tv show. later in the dream, Larry David showed up and told me the same thing, that i should write a tv show! so, i have several months off from my regular job and a lot of free time. since the dream, i’ve gone back to the whole project. it’s very challenging because the show i have in mind is, ummm, complicated. anyway, i want to move forward and have fun. if i SELL my show to hbo or to anyone, i will give more to charity than i will give if i fail to create and write the pilot for my show by July 14 of this year. okay, that was confusing. thanks for your support!! i really appreciate it!! (PS: my partner released me to continue with all of this independently awhile back…)
