This morning I decided to press on as is, and just be sure to write my climax in a way that won't be seen as derivative.
Knocked out three more pages this am and now I'm taking a break.

So I ran into an impasse yesterday, #scriptsky, where I had pretty much written myself into a corner.
I had created a major plot device that fits the "science" of vampirism, but I later realized my climax might be seen as too derivative of another vampire movie.
NGL, I was STUCK.

Banged out 4 pages last night on the new WIP. I was going to hold off until the weekend but the muse wants what the muse wants. Just an embarrassment of productivity this year 😅 #Scriptsky

This is when I have to fight the urge to push myself too hard because of the existential dread that the holidays mean 2026 is here.
I’m not where I want to be yet. But burnout and stress won’t help the pages. Besides, we all deserve to recharge. Consistency is my focus. #5amwritersclub #Scriptsky

Have embarked on an adaptation, which is a new thing for me.
I'm definitely making changes (no good at leaving well alone I guess). Any tips, suggestions, pitfalls to avoid? (Rights won't be an issue - it's close to being in the public domain).
