Writting with like an hour of sleep


Ernest Hemingway I have not read a single book you've written, but I do know you once said: "write drunk edit sober." .So Ididn't drink a bottle of vodka or anything. But I sleept close to nothing last night and somehow made it without taking a nap to late hours of the night and my brain was tired, like really tired. I was talking to my mom over the phome and genuinly was saying the biggest nonsense that ever came out of my mouth, but I was also in flow state, my brain was constantly comming up with new stuff. It was kinda fun.

And I had to write somenthing sooooooo yeah duty called. 

(first time googling a picture of Hemingway he lowkey looks like Pedro Pascal)

As I said my brain was tired so I didn't really stopped to think of small details, and rather just put placeholders when I felt a little stucked (thing that happened a lot with this script.) My main goal was just finding plot points that would match our new aim, and that felt with more strenght. 

The script was missing more emotion so I added the figure of a crush. I don't love this but it kinda draw a line of how far is she willing to go to fit in with the other girls. This aligns with the balance of either fitting in or doing whats right. 


I also started playing a lot more with our first person narrative elements. Our DP has a black huge piece of fabric that we can use to make everything in the bbackground look dark, so I tought we could use this for a new space for our character to share her mind. Being almost if not a literal represantation of her mind. It shows us her expectations, fears, and her loneliness. 

Oh and it also oppened a path for more jokes. Which is somenthing we were missing. We all like jokes.
