Surviving My Quarterlife 13

Good news! I finished my first spec script. It is an hour-long episode of a dramatic television show currently on the air. I can actually think of myself as a writer now! The bad news is that it took me almost a year to complete it. In my defense, there were many months when I didn't work on it at all. Anyway, it is not great, but at least it is something. A completed script. It could still use some polishing and cutting, but it is finished.

Now I am working on an idea for a pilot. I recently read that ABC picked up a show for next season that is similar to my idea, which is very annoying. Maybe I will wait until I see how similar it is to my idea before I finish writing it.

In other news, nothing!

No relationship, no real job, no real life! Sometimes I hate my life. I think I partly hate my life because I feel like I don't have a purpose. I don't have a reason to get up in the morning. I mean I do have a reason, but I don't have an great reason. I desperately want to be working in television production in almost any capacity and until I am doing so, I just don't think that I will be happy.

What do you do when you can't work in the job you want or even close to the job you want?

I need a job that is related to TV!!!
