Man…today was dope. Today I *finished* so much shit, I can’t even begin. Actually, I can…
“Icarus,” the pilot, my first pilot (written all on my own, anyway…wrote several with Josh), the pilot that’s taken me on-and-off two years which is so way too long it actually hurts me to write that…THAT pilot is finished. I mean, I’m moving on from it. No pilot is ever “finished” until it’s on the screen. That’s the inherent nature of writing for the screen, really…it is by its very nature “un-finished”…but as far as my work on it is concerned right now, it is done. I am happy with it. It’s not perfect, and I doubt it’s all that impressive or competent to a seasoned television veteran…but that was never the point. The point was to DO it to the best of my ability, and this script now finally represents the best of my ability…such as it stands right now.
So, what next? For Icarus, it’s off to the Blacklist and some TV writing competitions. Let’s see where I stand.
For ME, it’s now back to Starstuff for the long-awaited rewrite. FUCK. Why did it take me so long to do this? I should have been sitting here writing this blog an entire goddamn year ago. But, you know what? It’s okay. I’m not going to spend time thinking about that on such a good day. I FINISHED MY PILOT. It’s a first.
I also finished ALL of my Netflix work, and I did ALL of the narrations I wanted to do, and I did ALL of the apartment work that I needed to do. Oh, and got to hang with the Ho on the walk, and a quick trip to Ralph’s together.
Seriously…today was dope. I love daylight savings time. HATE the time-change itself…but love the hours.
Had a glass of bourbon to celebrate the day…and honestly, by glass, I mean *maybe* a shot’s worth of a pour. Maybe. It’s just how I roll. I like to sip it, nice and slow. Come to think of it, I didn’t even finish my glass 😛 Still, it was feeling fancy that I liked. Played a little Skyrim while I sipped, for old time’s sake. That’s what I used to do back in like October of last year.
Anyway, it’s time for the sleeps. Hopefully I conk out quickly. Waking up an hour earlier is no joke…but I do gets myself a nice couple days off I think 🙂
