an open letter to the second act of any script ever

Dear Act II,
You suck. Possibly you suck worse than the dentist. Okay, that's not true, even you're not that bad. But the fact remains--you are the bane of my very existence.

I have a first act. I have a third act. What do you mean, telling me I need to have something linking the two together where the plot actually unfolds? Ludicrous.

And even when I have you mapped out in my head, you're still a tricky little fucker. Playing mind games with me as to where my scenes should actually go, confusing me as to how I'm going to fit everything in a manner that is cohesive and not total shit.

Second act, you're the goddamn devil.

But please be nice to me and cooperate so that I can some day hope to not live in a shoebox outside a Starbucks with a sign that says 'will write for coffee. or a cracker.'

Love always and never,
Sushi
