I had the movie in my head, but I wasn\u2019t writing it. But I noticed this trend in my life which was that I was showing up to lunch meetings or business meetings, but I wasn\u2019t showing up to meet myself. So I wrote a note next to my bed \u2014 this is so corny \u2014 but I wrote \u201cMike! You have an appointment at Caf\u00e9 Pedlar at 7 a.m. with your mind!\u201d It\u2019s so corny, and I would show up! I never didn\u2019t show up and I wrote this movie [in] spurts of essentially three hours, like I\u2019d write from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and the reason why I would do that is because I was essentially barely awake. Because I feel like that moment, at 7 to 10 a.m., you\u2019re not afraid of the world yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>More from today\u2019s <i>Fresh Air<\/i> interview with Birbiglia:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/2016\/07\/19\/486560427\/comic-mike-birbiglia-on-his-best-failure-and-the-3-rules-of-improv\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>Comic Mike Birbiglia On His Best Failure And The 3 Rules Of Improv<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Bryan Bedder\/Getty Images<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>You\u2019ll definitely want to check out the full conversation. <i>-Emily<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>npr: nprfreshair: Comic Mike Birbiglia on\u00a0how he stopped procrastinating when he was writing the screenplay for his new movie, Don\u2019t Think Twice:\u00a0 \u201cI was procrastinating writing the movie.
