Got it.

Pop the bubbly! Someone alert the media! I got it! I got it! Wanna know how I did it? It's incredibly nerdy, so don't tell anyone. If you do I'll deny it. I started my writing session today by writing a fake press release for Variety Magazine about the success of my new pilot! Dweeb Alert! Geek Patrol! All hands on deck! How funny is that? I felt so good when I was done with it that sitting down to make some decisions was SO EASY it was startling. And I'm in LOVE with the premise, it's EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Ah, how delicious this night has been. I will sleep the sleep of a thousand dead dogs tonight. My new goal: Go to draft by Sunday. I'll flush out story points tomorrow, do the treatment on Friday, the outline on Saturday and start the script on Sunday. Oh my God, if I get a draft done out by the end of next week I'm gonna get a tatoo and that's final! Or at least some highlights. Or an ice cream. Maybe a tatoo AND an ice cream.

Nights like tonight are why writer's write. At least, it's why THIS one writes.
