I've had a longstanding theory that the best thing you can do for your writing is join a gym, because then your excuse for not working out can be writing. Well, this is even better. You - go sign up for a full credit fall course in Microbiology, or Physiology or something like that, and I give it two weeks before your writing takes off like one of those cube shaped kites that nerds fly for fun. I guess it also helps that I'm writing an alien movie, so every once in a while my teacher will mention something about genetics or spores and on the inside I'm going "plasmids, of course! That's how they do it - they inject the spores via the pilus! It's simple Prokaryotic mutation!"
You know what else is awesome? Finding a new writing spot that nobody knows about. It's like my and my screenplay's cheap motel room, only it's a private study room at the library. I'm in it right now (don't tell anybody). There is nothing in here but a desk, two chairs, an electric typewriter and a whiteboard. And now me, and all my crap. It's beautiful. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. I can reserve this room up to two months in advance. I can literally plan appointments with my writing. With no luck at all, this screenplay will be written before fall semester starts. Take that, nursing school. You can't have all of me! Never!
