Effing The Ineffable

Two weeks ago, two things happened:
- We got a major win.
- We had an even larger failure. A movie script we’d been working on like crazy, supported by a wonderful set of allies, was submitted to a major studio at a very high level…and got slapped down. It was a large enough failure that it dwarfed the victory emotionally, and felt like a sledge hammer to the chest. All of the insecurity and pain and fear in my heart boiled up, every negative voice in my head came back to chew at me. Every demon in the darkness was alive and sharpening its teeth on my soul.
