I sent my Sundance documents, as they are currently, to a few friends for some feedback. Already got some, looking at you Alfredo, and a couple others on the way. Felt good. I had *definitely* reached that point where I had really no fucking clue anymore if what I’d written was making any goddamn sense. All objectivity had been left behind on rewrite…five? Maybe?
The good news, at least from señor Alfredo, is that a lot of it IS making sense. He had some badass suggestions, which I’ll be working on starting tomorrow morning. I love sending work to that guy, he’s truly an incredible mix of genuine fan and constructive criticizer. Pretty sure I just made up the word “criticizer.” He’s also a far more talented writer than myself, and that’s always nice to get notes from 😛
I went out with the Ho tongiht to Chili’s in Encino with several guys from her acting class, which was a lot of fun. She has a good group, for sure. Apparently, the idea had sprung from talk in class about a mutual love for the Chili’s appetizer “queso,” which is like a mix of beans and cheese. It was pretty good. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a Chili’s, I realized. Like, ten years? Probably close to that. I had a margarita, too. It was delicious.
I also cleaned today. The entire house. Well, the floors. But that was nice. I still had energy after the morning writing sesh, and it wasn’t quite time for lunch yet, so I went for it.
Allergies are OUT. OF. CONTROL tonight. Blech. Even after taking meds. I wonder what’s going on. It smelled faintly of smoke out there, which maybe means there’s a fire somewhere nearby. That would definitely explain the irritated eyes and nose. The air quality down here is seriously fucking terrible. Every time we go up north, I’m always taken aback at how much of a difference there is in the air outside. So much more oxygen! Or, at least less pollutants.
Anyways…I think that’s it. Pups are cute. The writing continues…I might re-do my schedule again and just give myself all the way to Wednesday to work on these pitch-pages for Sundance. We’ll see what happens. I’m supposed to be working on Act 2 tomorrow…but I might just tackle that shit after the 10th deadline for Sundance. I realize it might seem kind of crazy to see me set deadlines only to just keep moving them…but I just suppose that’s the way I am. Having the timeline helps keep me on task, even if things end up taking longer than I’d like them to.
Hope you guys had a good one today. I did. Good day.
