I just crossed 82 pages on my feature script and honestly it felt great. It’s not finished yet but passing that halfway mark hits different. It’s one of those small wins that makes the whole grind worth it.
How do small wins show up in everyones process? I’d love to hear what milestones everyone else is celebrating lately.

Congratulations on crossing 82 pages, Ethan Meadows! Celebrating small wins helps me when things are rough in my career or I'm struggling with a project. I wrote 4 pages in a short script today. I usually outline scripts, but I'm coming up with the story as I go. I also rewrite as I go.

Didn't Woody Harrelson say in Zombieland to enjoy the little stuff? But the halfway mark is no small win. It's a big turning point for me almost every time. Feels good, huh? Congratulations on getting here. The back half is so much fun.
I'm actively drafting on a new feature. Act 1 is always a struggle bus ride for me, but I'm making progress. Words on the page is a win.

Man, do I know that feeling. Knowing you're in that homestretch is a great feeling. Congrats! I recently finished a screenplay and have moved into the getting-it-out-there phase while starting work on the next one. I just began outlining scenes and had that "there it is" moment with the tone, and that felt big.

Ethan Meadows looking for small wins -when my characters tell me what they want to say. Hearing their voice, what an exhilarating feeling, makes me believe I am on the right track with them.

Be careful there are tariffs on writing paper so make it short with impact! Good luck and well done. Finishing is the hard part. William Goldman.
