Corey’s Story Adventure, The Epiphany
June 22, 2009
From Corey:
So last night, Annie and I went out to celebrate our time of discovery together. We had a really nice dinner (I even got a bit of Sushi!) and then we had planned to take Miss Sweetie on a walk and try to determine our next steps, when I suddenly said, “I think I need to go back to the hotel and write.”
And I did.
I sat down and opened a word document to begin scripting what we had come up with over the weekend. Then I closed the word document and opened Final Draft, my screenwriting software and the writing began to flow. In no time I had the first four pages. I sent them to Annie who replied with “You’ve done the impossible!”
This morning I did some revising and while on the plane I added another 5 pages. We’re up to 9. It’s not complete, but the structure is emerging. And it’s freakin deep.
I came home and talked about the journey with my wife. I related to her the struggle between my inner dreamer, my inner wimp and my inner critic. And then I demonstrated the conversation between the wimp and the dreamer and walked her through my moment of epiphany when I discovered that the wimp was actually the more courageous of the two. I could see on her face that it worked.
I sat down and showed her some of the videos from the weekend and she was captivated which made me feel that we were indeed on the right track (my wife doesn’t bullshit!).
: – )
So I’m bouncing back and forth between this and Daniel Cardwell’s book. Making great progress on both.
