I fought the good fight today, I can hang my hat on that. I was focused as a motherfucker all day, and I did good work. Unfortunately, none of the lessons that I checked out managed to be easy enough to get me ahead of the curve…but I rode the curve itself, and I’m still very happy with my day. Yes, I am still “behind,” and yes, I will still need to figure out a way to make that work up…BUT, it’s doable.
I am reminded of this time last year when various things entirely beyond my control and many other things that were within my control all conspired together and set me a full freaking month behind in my work. Right now, as I sit here and type this, I’m half a day behind. HALF A DAY. So, so easily doable. Right? Right.
I’m also behind in my writing, something I intend to remedy as soon as humaly possible. I finally have notes for my next Icarus draft, which was due this past weekend. Ooops. I’m also a week away from my deadline to having the outline DONE for my next pilot, and I’ve maybe put four cumulative hours into that so far…that deadline may actually need to be re-assessed. I don’t know. We’ll see. I also have Nikolai’s script to read and finally give notes back to, the poor bastard. He gave me notes two weeks ago. I’m an asshole.
It’s currently just after 1am, and that means it’s time for me to sleep. No more writing. I just did want to say that today was a win, and I sit in bed right now feeling exhausted and rejuvinated simultaneously. I was afraid that getting behind, or having an otherwise tumultuous week (not tumultuous in a bad way, per se, just busy) would cause me to lose my “working edge” that I’ve had for the past few weeks…and it totally didn’t. At all. I feel very grateful for that, and ready to tackle all the shit I have to do, AND to get some actual relaxation in.
After this weekend. This weekend will be intense.
Also, last but definitely not least, Ryan and Lisa are leaving tomorrow morning, and I’m genuinely sad to see them go. We hung out for a couple hours tonight after they got home from Disneyland and just talked and it was so nice to have them. They got us a bottle of wine, and we drank it together and showed them videos of our dogs. I know. How freaking obsessed are we? We know we are, and we embrace it full-stop.
Good night bitches. No credit for the artwork tonight, it was from my archives with no name on it 🙁
