Three months later, I'm FINALLY at the "Ok maybe this spec doesn't totally suck" stage.
Definitely hit the point of revisions where I yell WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SCRIPT? WHO IS THIS EVEN FOR BUT ME? aka normal part of my process.

Saw 50+ Rumis, dozens of Zoeys, a smattering of Miras, and whole groups of Saja Boys at my kids’ school’s Halloween parade today. It’s great, and I plan to wield them all as evidence the next time some animation studio opts for yet another reboot instead of an original idea.

Nobody remembers why this game began, all those generations ago. Such details are long lost to history. All we know is that the game must be played

It's so fascinating that I can make a huge mess taking my spec feature apart, splitting each part into four separate fdx files, then rebuilding the script without considering page count... and when compiled, it's 107 pages ✨ You really do acquire a sense of how "big" a story needs to be!
