I’m pitching a movie for the first time tomorrow, and in the preparation process, I’ve learned a lot of things about myself, which I will now share in a clear, concise, story driven sort of way, which is to say, a manic list:

1.) I’m really bad at pitching.

2.) Writer does not equal engaging storyteller.

3.) The moment you ask me to do something also happens to be moment I forget how to do it.

4.) What is action? Who are people? What are Things?

5.) Did I really go to Grad school?

6.) I’ve got to stop chewing on my hair.

7.) I refuse to give up.
