Q) How many A.D.D. kids does it take to change a light bulb? A) Wanna ride bikes!

I have a hard time with reading. Not that I cant read, it just that my mind wonders. Thats why film works out for me so well. I can be engaged while having enough room in my head and time in the viewing to wonder and ponder through thought. When I get into a really good book this happens a small bit also, but thats only with a really good book.
This lack of controlled ability has plagued me and would explain why I took so many years off of the structured learning circuit. This also translates directly to a poor paper writing ability. I hate writing papers. One may ask, "But Dave, if you want to write films and make films you are going to have to write a lot. Isn't that going to be a problem?" Id say, "No, leave me alone and bother someone else you nosy bastard!" I say this because I have many many note books and word files full of single scenes. These scenes are going to be the structure of my film career (Or so I hope).
Long story short, I am bad at writing papers and am hating writing this paper that I am so eloquently avoiding right now. I shouldn't say that, Im not "bad" at writing papers, Its just a struggle to do it for me. I know Im not the only one.
