It all went a little funky

Oh, hi friends!

How many things have loop-de-looped unexpectedly in the wrong direction today? One? Three? Fourteen?

I feel ya.

But you can straighten out that loop.
Or smooth it.
Or smoosh it.

Just do something with it, alright?

Let’s get it back into the shape you wanna see.

Oh, my heart. <3

“Be more patient and be more diligent in your work. Be wrong as fast as you can. This gives me license to fail publicly amongst by peers, but it’s also a directive, a demand. As long as I do it fast, I stand a better chance of finding the correct answer which is most likely many script passes away. Time is never your friend.”

Some nice gems in this interview with Toy Story writer Andrew Stanton, although I do want to consider time as a friend, not an enemy! As I count my own projects (seven?! not including Brass Ring or journalistic work LOLOL), I see they’re all in various stages of activation. Which will fly? Which will fail? I dunno. But the answer is somewhere on the other side of a draft, not in the waiting to begin.

Look around. Are you surrounded by windows? 

Here is the gifted Victoria Ratermanis — you might recognize her from Fosse/Verdon! — in a monologue I wrote for my brother Eric Cotti’s Monovlog series.

And here is the monologue in text form, if you’d like to see what that looks like. Feel free to leave a comment!
