Vision: To write family stories that educate and entertain.
My story is coming along well. As I’m writing, I’m getting new ideas that make the story stronger from what I originally had in my outline. I’m continuing on with it.

Paul Started Act 4.
4. Vision of success from this program: I want to write scripts that become movies that change people’s lives.
3. I’ve been applying Rule 4 and especially 5 of the High Speed Writing Rules. That has helped. But in future I will try to avoid the mistake of starting the first draft without a fully-functioning outline. I am coming up with answers to some of the questions raised by the gaps in my outline, but with a proper outline it wouldn’t have been this hard.
5. What I learned from this assignment was is how those words of Toni Sorenson helped: “Don’t quit, until you’ve arrived.” So I am moving forward towards the end of Draft 1 even though I feel it will barely reach 20% quality. “Don’t quit! Don’t quit! Don’t quit!” is my mantra right now.

I found that I need a more specific Vision of Success, so here it is.
To write a script good enough to win the Nicholl Fellowship.
There, I said it.
An old script of mine just made the quarter-finals at the Atlanta Film Festival, but didn’t move any higher. I’ve been a finalist before, but I want to win one of these. So why not aim high ;?D
It’s been a busy couple of weeks at my survival job, sprinkled with a bit of Life Tragedy, and more than ever, I find refuge in working on my screenplay.
