I got one of my screenplays into the longlist a few days ago for an internationally renowned film festival but it didn't make the shortlist. I'm kinda pleased though because it was one of my first scripts to send out to competitions and festivals so it felt very encouraging.

Working on a Mike Leigh-esque comedy drama, a psychological thriller and I'm torn between working on writing a survivalist thriller or a children's TV pilot (in the UK, children's television is receiving a £50 million increase in government funding so it might be the better place to try and get one of my scripts produced).

I try to keep optimistic but it genuinely is lonely work, proof reading for typos and to see what can be improved on, re-drafting and re-drafting, making outlines that are as cast-iron as they can be before I start a first draft, having barely anyone to bounce ideas off so it's mostly solitary, and it kinda hurts knowing people just see me sitting on the laptop and genuinely think "he's just on his games again." Got Gucci Gang on repeat while working on my comedy script just trying to pump myself up.

It's okay, anon. I got a boner over the scene where the kid in The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea watches his mom get fucked through a hole in his wardrobe. I don't want to dwell on what that must mean.

Cause we desperately need a plague and everyone knows it
We gave up on God, so nobody thinks a flood is coming anymore, and nobody thinks Jesus is gonna come a second time (giggity)
We are at the point now where we just want to see the whole damn thing fall apart, and if we are lucky enough to survive and start the rebuild, then so be it. Sounds fun, or at least less boring than modern life, hence all the stories and films like the OP

>tfw to come to /lit/ in the current year is to see millenial pseuds bashing, belittling, and berating the all time great works of literature

they are neat. i've never really read any of the gnostic or esoteric writings before

Thunder, On the Origin of the World, and the Tripartate Tractate were interesting reads

>tfw we'll never have undamaged and complete variants of all the subvariants of Mediterranean-Mesopotamian philosophical intermingling -- instead just fragments found by dirt farmers and ultra-biased references by anti-heterodox child sacrifice converts
