Yesterday I had my outline review in Screenwriting. I had pulled an all-nighter to get it finished and I hated it. I knew the ending sucked, and I knew where all the problems were (but not how to solve them) and I was totally mortified that I had to send it out to all my classmates and have them go over it when I KNEW that it sucked. The class felt awful and I'm sure I was bright red the whole time. Everything they brought up, I KNEW was wrong and could only nod in agreement, but I didn't have any solutions. I felt nauseous.
But then, about an hour after the class-- solutions just started COMING to me. Something about how the professor phrased my problems made them much easier to contemplate and within an hour after the class I had solutions to all but one of my major failings. (The one solution I don't have is a career that is valueless in a society without electricity/cars/modern technology, but is VITAL in societies with electricity and technology.) It was amazing and awesome and I can't wait to get back to my re-write.
In other news, I saw The September Issue with glockgal and it was awesome. Really well constructed documentary and really funny and entertaining.
