Jesus. These allergies are out of control right now. Big time. I have developed a cough. What the fuck, right?
Majorly drugged up right now…or at least I will be in a little bit. Have to stay ahead of these sinuses, you know? Keep shit from getting infected. It’s getting to me, though, I know it is, because I conked out for a solid 90 minute nap today after eating dinner. That sucked, too, because it’s the night before the Sundance deadline, and I’d hoped to have my document FINISHED tonight.
I should have known better. I’m such a procrastinator. Which isn’t to say I wait till the last minute to do everything, becuase I don’t. I’m a slow and steady worker, for sure…but I hardly ever finish a project early. I will use whatever time I give myself, or someone else gives me. All of it. It’s a form of time-triage, I suppose; do what *needs* to be done now, and whatever can be done later will be done later.
Definitely looking forward to sending off this application. I’m unsure as to how impactful this document with its log lines and synopses and essays will be…but I’m hoping at least my included 5 pages will be enough to at least get the chance to send them the whole script. That’s about all I’m hoping for 😛 I have no freaking credits, you know? I’d be stunned to actually get invited to the lab, which is clearly designed for fairly established young writers to break through with their super unique or even hard-to-sell-but-amazing show.
But, you know what? Fuck it. Honestly, I’ve moved mostly past that negative thinking on this “contest”…I know the odds are against me, particularly because it’s a sci-fi pilot…so, I’m going to try and be the first person to do a show like this at one of their TV labs. Someone has to be first. My job is the same: knock their socks off. Try to blow them away. So…I shall endeavor to do so.
Anyway…that’s tomorrow. Today, it was editing work. Got done what I was supposed to, which was awesome. Two solid work days in a row. I have a template now for that work, I know how much time it takes me to do a certain number of projects, so I can plan out my work week. I also have remilon work this week, and I have no freaking idea when that’s going to happen…sigh. I’ll figure it out.
And hopefully these allergies will calm the fuck down. We. Shall. See.
Good night!
