feature-length

I was reading a screenwriting blog and one thing in the post struck me. In the post, he says (something to the effect of) you don’t get to pick and choose the time when you are a professional and getting paid has nothing to do with it. If you think of yourself as a professional, you can’t to respond to criticism as “but I’m just a student” or “but I’m just an amateur”. If you are a professional and want to be seen as a professional then you have to act like a professional all the time.

I realized that I halfway think of myself as a writer, but I haven’t finished anything in over a year…and the last thing I finished was a 12 page short. I have an idea. I have a week. I’m going feature length.
