...So now what?

Hello to the very few people that actually read this blog.

I did it. 365 movie ideas for a full year. Sure, I missed a few days here and there, but I actually made a goal and accomplished it.
This daily practice has helped me in so many ways. It taught me to think on the spot, it made me feel better knowing that I will write crap every now and then, I helped me learn to be more consistent with getting work done, and it helped me see what patterns, issues, and values keep showing up in my writing. I've even made a short film out of one of the ideas. All in all, I can say that the practice helped me be a better writer.
After doing this for a full year, it makes me feel weird knowing that it's over. I'm thinking of starting a new practice. Ideas I have include:
-A 2 page script a day
-A character a day
-A synopsis a day
-A 5-10 minute short every month
-Work on one feature script/film every single day until it's finished

Some of these ideas seem good, although some might be unrealistic or too much to handle. I'd like to try them, though. Something to keep the flow of doing something with writing/filmmaking on a daily basis.
