What?! What happened to your idea?! Go for it!
No. No… It’s dawning on me that I don’t have time. I don’t have the energy… I have other obligations. I don’t have time to write it.
Why not?! WRITE.
No… I just… I’m getting tired… It’s 2:00 am…
So have a good rest. Then write the manuscript.
I don’t have time, I have to work tomorrow.
So write it afterwards. You know you want to do this.
Well… I don’t know for sure… it was just a few silly memories.
It was NOT just a few silly memories. It was actually really funny and there is a lot of potential to flesh it out into something that could even be on Netflix or any other channel, you can do it.
(Smiling) Do you really believe in me?
I do. I really believe in you.
I am thinking of one friend… well, actually two… who might be able to help me. But I am hesitant to disrupt people’s regular lives… what if it’s just my own delulu?
Just ask. They can only say no. So then you write it on your own if they say no.
Yeah. Actually — I would rather they write it. I really feel, like, intuitively — they’re going be able to flesh it out better than me. And, there’s one more friend…
Oh?
Well — past acquaintance — and she’s a film producer? I think? I’m not even sure. See, we’re not that close.
Reach out. (Smiling)
What?
I didn’t know you have so many contacts...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH…
A FILM PRODUCER?! ALL THIS TIME?! YOU DIDN’T TELLL MEEEE?!?!?!?!?
(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)
In the Australian film industry?
Yeah… but… so what?! I know a film editor, too.
(MINDBLOWN) THIS WHOLE TIME. YOU JUST KEPT THAT TO YOURSELF?!?!?!?!
(Chuckles) It’s not even that hard to get in. Australian film and TV industry has like, FIVE people. Geez.
(Wide-eyed) (Shaking his head in disbelief) WHO ARE YOU!??!?!
(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL) Or, maybe, maybe — this is just a side effect of living on GOLD. COAST….
Oh… I see… Aussie Los Angeles.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….
…
What if someone else takes your idea in the meantime?
(Shrugs shoulders) They can do it.
Why would you… just let that happen?
Because… is it even realistic that I’m going to write it? No! The fact that I pressed “publish” on it with this blog means that, meh~ I don’t really care.
(Wide-eyed) Why would you not care?
Is it that important? If someone else thinks it’s a great idea, it’s that important — if they need the money for that project? Let them do it. I don’t need it.
(Staring… blinking…)
What?!
NOBODY THINKS LIKE YOU.
(LOLOLOLOLOLOL)
But, but, but —
If I suddenly feel like, “Oh my god. I wanna DO THIS. FOR REAL.” And I set aside time and resources — and if there’s already another TV show already out, and they took that title, “Boarders” — That’s. FINE. Creativity is LIMITLESS. You can think of OTHER TITLES. You can CHANGE CHARACTERS. You can WRITE NEW STORY ARCS. It is INFINITE. There’s enough abundance to GO AROUND. FOR. EVERYONE.
