It's freezing cold in the apartment for some reason. There's no heating as far as I can tell. It's hot outside, but cold inside.

But I think a lot better when it's cold. I'm much more likely to write. I'm miserable when it's cold, but my brain works a lot better. Shades of having grown up in Connecticut. When it gets warmer, I lose some of my ability to think.

So yesterday, in an apartment without internet, I just wrote all day. I wrote and wrote and wrote, completing most of the first part of my She-Hulk screenplay. Almost enough material for a feature film, completed in one day.

I've realized that the She-Hulk story I'm intending to tell is long enough to fill two movies. The first being an origin story, the second taking us up to date with her current comic series. I had hoped to tell the origin story very quickly and get into the other stuff, but the origin story I wrote is long enough for its own film.

So hey. Why not?

The whole She-Hulk story would probably be impossible to shoot myself, unless I came into some money .... or even if I did come into some money. With "both" movies, if it really is two movies, it's a lot of material, with a lot of effects. However, I know I could pick a particular section ("episode") out of the longer script I'm writing and film that. As with my other scripts, I'm writing TV-style, and every half-hour or hour seems to be its own storyline.
