As I'm writing, I start to see connections, and themes I didn't see, and that sparks other things. So then I go back and rewrite things or alter them. It's a combination of intuition and a lot of finessing. It becomes a combination of the rational and the irrational.

I have a lot of health anxiety.

I have a tendency to hire people who tend to be unattractive to the studios. Maybe this is a bad idea.
