  • After finishing that script.

    Anyone have any cool rituals or celebratory things they do after finishing a screenplay? I don't mean a first draft piece of ****, but something that's actually going to be shown to people. Producers, managers, agents, directors, the CAA Janitor. Polished and shined. My thing is to set up three shots and go, BANG, BANG, BANG. 1) Cuervo Tequila. 2) An apple vodka. 3) Goldshlager. (It ends up tasting like an apple-cinnamon cake). What about you, Writer? What do you do when you knock out that final draft?

    That sounds like fun. Me? I give myself about two hours of peace and tranquility before worrying... do I have it in me to do it again!?!?

      I buy myself an expensive bottle of beer and drink it after typing the final words of a first draft. If it's nice out, I'll have a cigar along with it.

        I do nothing that even feels like work for one whole day.

              It's freaky how close our celebratory rituals are.

                That's my Thursday ritual.

                Anyway, for my script ritual, I like to take the next day or two off and do absolutely nothing.

                  Only a day or two? Hell, I take a few weeks!

                        I am afraid that this is also my normal reaction! And during those few weeks, I do a lot of the other rituals detailed above.

                          I feel great relief and a calm, kinda like post great sex, but also like post great sex, I want to immediately go again, lol. See I thrive in chaos and work best under pressure, and I'm pretty A.D.D. as well, so usually when I finish a screenplay I'm anxious to immediately get to work on another one (or two or five) I've been thinking about.

                          It's often frustrating that I don't have the time nor discipline to fill a page as quickly as something fills my noggin'.

                            There's nothing freaky about class.

                              I don't write anything but first drafts.
