Submitted without title

The weird thing about second drafts is how much harder they are than first drafts. A first draft is limitless and displays the POTENTIAL an idea has. And... I hope you can see the problem right there.

A second draft is about fulfilling potentials. Sometimes you don't know what's broken, sometimes you do. But whatever the case is, you have to figure out how to fix it. And how is hard.

First drafts also have suggested forms.... in that it's similar to this or you're trying that. You can diagram things out a bit. But in a second draft, when that form is off the fix is not always as apparent.

Well... this is why it's a job, not a hobby.

"Don''t you be smart, it don't suit you."

Things happen too fast.

I swear I was gonna post a review of BratShit Crazy and THEN tell you about the notes I got from my first draft and THEN tell you about who my director is.

And now, I'm in this nebulous place where BSC seems like a month ago and I'm still in the middle of notes from the draft and I'm supposed to wait another day or two to announce who the director is.

So, I need to know from you, fair totally-existent reader, what is my responsibility to you? How often do you expect an update from me? All that jazz. (Not that jazz) (definitely not that jazz...)
