Deadlines

One thing that my little experience with Emmortel has proven to me is that if I’ve got a deadline I will do everything that I have to to meet that deadline. I will not cut too many corners, just be professional enough to achive a specific level that is acceptable to me. I’m a complete anal perfectionist and so NOTHING is ever good enough. Nothing achives it’s potential. Everything can be done better.

However in order to get anywhere you have to try, try and try again; and you must have a deadline. A self imposed deadline, a set deadline, whatever. Something that makes you work harder and longer, and faster and with more passion and conviction than if it was left to the wind to see when it gets done it gets done.

With Emmortel “complete” I can turn my eyes onto a few projects that have been abandonded these past couple of weeks/month. So that it can be official (when I mean official, actually documented somewhere and that would be right here because I can run away from this post but it will always be there staring at me, haunting me) I think I’m going to give myself 20 days to finish off the first draft of my script ‘Sublime’. Twenty days because I fly to Lebanon on the 21st of May.

I’ve thought about this story for close to a year solid now. I’ve written countless (actually more like 6) drafts of the plot, I’m 30 pages into the current script, let the fun begin.
