Alas…today was another bit of a struggle snuggle…BUT…all is not lost. I mapped out work days for the rest of the week, and I can DO this. Even if I fall a bit short, it won’t be a disaster. As long as my study.com supervisor is okay with these videos taking a few extra days…I think he will be. I’ll be half done with them Thursday, and the other half over the weekend.
Did my writing hour, thank you baby Jesus. It happened right at the verrryyyy end of the day, just before getting ready for bed times, but I did it. I’m reading through my latest draft, and I’m definitely starting to get into the mode when I’m too close to my work to really tell how good or bad it is…I will say this though: I don’t think it’s boring. It moves, and it moves along quite quickly.
I also will say this…I think it’s as good as I can make it with my current skillset. Is it perfect? Nope. Is it worthy of a contest…I hope so. I really do. It’s my best effort right now. I hold onto the idea that my next effort will be better.
I know that sounds like I’m trying to be self-deprecating, or even perhaps that I’m being “too hard” on myself…but it’s my honest assessment of my work. There’s a lot of stuff that I’m really proud of in this script. A lot. But I also recognize that it’s my FIRST. I also recognize that there are problems with my script that I don’t know yet how to solve, and problems that I don’t even know yet how to SEE. I recognize that I do not know it all, and that ONE script does not a master of the craft make. THAT’S what I mean by “I will do better next time.”
I have no idea how other people will read this script. I’m hoping that some of them will like it. But, I know how *I* read my script, and I know that I feel like this script is just the beginning, the first step in a long, long multitude of steps.
In the outside world, I’d be remiss not to talk about Super Tuesday. Trump won big, which is making everyone kinda freak out and want to run for the hills…and Hillary won big, which was a bit surprising to me. I’d been under the impression that Sanders was more competitive than he really has been. He *is* still competitive, and apparently, it was a very similar situation in 2008 to what it is right now…I’d just thought he was actually LEADING Hillary.
So, tomorrow is work. Work work work. But it’s going to be a good work day. I can feel it.
Good night!
