Faith.
You need it but where do you find it?
Every screenwriter needs faith, whether it’s in themselves or in their deity to get them through rough patches. Solid ground isn’t always available and I find myself hopping from one sand dune to the next, hoping it won’t swallow me up for the rest of history to come.
I find my faith in personal experience and a higher being. Experience is my tangible concept that allows me to trust my instincts and continue forward or step back, and the higher being…well let’s just say I know they’re there, but I’m not sure I’d fall backwards to find out. They’re like a net holding my faith around me like a force field making sure it doesn’t escape.
What does all this refer to? I have several irons in the fire, and my coals feel like their getting cold. It’s time to stoke or get the pail of water.
I could use faith and continue on, or I could read the warning signs and just let the fire go out.

That is a toughy. Means so much to so many people and always pivotal in the decision we make in life.
Losing it -whatever ‘it’ is- can be pretty unsettling. You might get stranded. Hope that net holds things together and doesn’t tangle you
