Do Over

I think I just recently had a breakthrough. Maybe it's because I'm on new med's and things aren't quite as extreme as they used to be? It reminds me of a line from a movie where one guy says to another

"Your life is not over. Your life is a do over."

I like that connotation. Just like when you're a kid and something happens, and you just start all over again. For me, that was usually the basketball getting wedged into the rim around the hoop, and someone having to grab a broom to knock it down.

After reading a couple of books at the library, I got some better ideas for my script, and have completely scrapped the other one. I just needed to. I may take some of the ideas from the old one, but I just think it would be more fun to do a fresh approach. I just started working on the rewrite today, and I'm really enjoying myself. I have other things that I'm going to do today like finding a job, but it's nice to have a diversion.

Also, tollbooths are a big part of the story I'm writing, and I just realized we have tons of them here in FL. Cool, huh?

I gotta slow down though. This might just be a script for me to write, and nothing else. But it would be great to see someone else tell the story on the big screen. I'll just do the best I can and leave the rest in God's hands.
