I was decidedly not lazy today.
Lots of apartment business today. Almost all day, in fact, but I got it all done. Everything on my checklist. Very happy about that. There were some things on that list that were stressing me out.
I also sketched out some goals, and a timeline for this script work that will get me to this upcoming deadline on time. That felt good. And pinpointing exactly when I’d be sitting down to start the process of rewriting Starstuff. I’m genuinely looking forward to that. Nervous, too…but really looking forward to getting back to my prose after a year away from it.
In hindsight, that’s something I regret…stepping away from my novel for so long. I don’t know why I let that happen, to be honest. I guess I thought I should focus on other things, like editing work and writing pilots…but I was my happiest writing that book. Maybe that’s what last year was really all about, realizing that I like writing books the most.
I also weighed myself and started to check out some 30-minute workout routines out there. Taking a hard look at P90x 3, which seems to fit the criteria, and I definitely enjoy the “brand.” I was ripped once upon a time. It’d be nice to get there again…although that’s not really the point of this whole thing. The point is to get myself into shape…and then stay there. Develop a routine for myself that I can do day-in-day-out, week after week, year after year. THAT’S the goal.
This program seems like a good place to start. I had a lot of success a few years ago with a similar program. Loved it.
Anyway, it’s time for the sleeps. It’s after midnight, and I’m telling myself I’m going to actually wake up on time tomorrow. Got shit to do, son!
