4 cups of coffee
A laptop, a blanket, and my thoughts.

Sit down.
Type.
Drink.
Get up again.
Pace.
Sit down.

Type a script.
Delete the script.
Write a new one.
Fax it to the producers.
Fax it to the actors.
Fax it to the writers.

Take one.
Take two.
Cut.
Take thirteen.

Change camera lense.
Change camera filter.
Change camera.

Critique the set.
Critique the costumes.
Yell at the person who
made the bloody awful coffee.

Sit down.
Take a deeeeep breath.
In and out...
In and out...

Roll shoulders
Once
Twice
Three times.

Look again
the second time.
The set
isn’t that awful.
The actors aren’t
as cheesy.
The coffee isn’t
as burnt.
