As you may or may not know I have been spending the last couple weeks trying to write a sample for All Saints.  In one of my former posts, I talked about my day in the writer’s room and how I was asked to submit a segment from the episode if I wanted to.  Since then, I have sort have poked at it but have used the excuse that I haven’t received the medical research, so how am I to do anything of worth?  Today, I received this medical research¹ and, now that my excuse is invalid, I feel as though I’m still at square one.  In fact, where ever right before square one is, that is where I am.  It’s eleven page document filled to the brim with Medical Jargon that flies nicely right over my head (with room to spare).  I couldn’t finish reading a line before cross referencing it with some Idiot’s Guide on the internet.  Here I thought I would be getting around to an earnest first draft today when really, but it has taken me all day to get through this little document and digest what it all means.

I don’t know how Meredith Grey does it.  I’m completely surrounded by doctors and ailments that I can hardly concentrate on getting to the fun relationship stuff.   I don’t know how she does it. All I can say is that I have truly underestimated writers who do this sort of thing for a living.  I don’t know how the writer’s of Greys or All Saints can do this without ten years of med school…

Hopefully I will get around to a draft this weekend so I can get it done.  But next week is hectic too because I’m supposed to be completing my second draft of one of my features this coming week.  AGH.
