Fantastic newsletter again. It really does come down to feeling. I’ve learned to consider a draft “finished” 4-5 days before sending it to anyone because inevitably in that timeframe I’ll have 6 new ideas that have to go in the script. Only when that voice quiets down do I feel it’s at least temporarily “done.” Also — KILLER playlist! To hear Lemonheads, Sault, Paul Simon, and New Order in one place makes me a happy man
Hahaha, thanks. If these eclectic playlists existed anywhere else, I wouldn't have to make them!
And that's a great way of thinking of a "finished" draft. Generally, it's all I can do to stop myself from immediately sending something on, so great is the feeling of accomplishment. You have good willpower!
Oh believe me I’ve learned the hard way! I think willpower only comes from knowing enough to not trust your sense of urgency, which is a daily struggle!
I was just struggling with this while outlining my next short. I'm constantly like, "is this the right choice here?" Now, the concept of the 'knowing' you get from experience and self trust is what the story is becoming about. And kinda what it already was about, I just didn't realize it. But instead of relying on that I'm just gonna take this post as a sign that it's the right direction. haha.
Oh no! Haha that was definitely a mistake, I always mean to set them to all subscribers and I'm not going to lie I was like "aw, no comments?" LESSON LEARNED.

This is great! Do it!
I love this so much Ben!
Thanks! And I loved your newsletter yesterday, but I was not allowed to comment on it! But yeah, the waiting is the hardest part.
Mostly I wanted to discuss the lackluster season of GBBO with you!
Oh no! Haha that was definitely a mistake, I always mean to set them to all subscribers and I'm not going to lie I was like "aw, no comments?" LESSON LEARNED.
It was boring, right? But I love sweet Syabira!
