Hi,
This is a weird question.
I was thinking about my cognitive ability.
I didn't grow up in a learning-friendly home as a child.
I've never really tried in school and sometimes on tests that didn't count towards my grades, I would answer more carelessly or just bubble in the grid.
I've always been exceptional in mathematics and creativity. I read over my gifted program tests from elementary school and found from the first test(taken in 2nd grade), I had gotten a 99 on creativity but I failed the other areas. I had taken the test again in 4th grade and found I scored 97/100 and 92/100 on the cognitive and comprehension areas-required was 96/100 and 90/100. On the creativity portion, I scored like a fifty something. And, I've always failed motivation.
I had always taken honors classes and I've never tried to take an AP course. I've always gotten an A B average. Usually, I just tried to get by in my classes and I actually tried when I had grades to bring up.
I think growing up, I've always been mentally-absent or only partially there. I used to have major depression. I think I picked up daydreaming as a coping mechanism. I still struggle with living in a daydream and living in reality.
I can lay for hours on just daydreaming for entertainment.
I've always wanted to be a film writer and I have a couple ideas for my stories.
One idea I believe is my ultimate goal in life. I've started on the story but I haven't gotten far in my writing. I'm always looking for ideas when I go places and some I haven't written down yet.
It's been two years since I've been out of high school and I haven't done a lot in that time. I still have terrible motivation. The thing is, I don't believe in myself. I learned last night from a writer to always try. He said he failed hundreds of times but also said if he didn't fail, he wouldn't have success. I don't know.
I think I have amazing potential but maybe that's just in my head. I have in the past, many times wowed my class with my projects at school. I've been told by intelligent people who have read my writing, that I'm very intelligent. I think I have ways of thinking that others haven't came across and maybe that's just what I think.
I'm not sure I have what it takes to write this 'genius' idea of mine. I usually surprised myself whenever I finished a project but never could see the success before I started. I really don't know where to go from here with this goal I want to achieve.
The area I'm worried most about is character development, my lack of vocabulary, and my writing skills(haven't always had positive feedback on my writing scores in school-I don't think B-scored writing would make a good writer).
From a second opinion, do you think I have chance in making this film and having a success?
Yes, but only if YOU believe in yourself. Things only become possible when you feel that they are. I think you should read a book about present moment awareness called "The Power of Now". Since reading it, I don't doubt my capabilities as much as before. I'm also more at peace with life in general. Look it up on Amazon. You can get a copy for really cheap.
(Rating: 5) sounds like a good book
