I’m back at it. Had a *very* productive workday today. Loved the fact that it was a holiday Monday, and that it was so quiet out and about. Is that sad? That sometimes…often…I like having these “bank holidays” because I like the fact that I can get so much work done on them? I’ve never been a big celebrator of days like St. Patty’s Day or Cinco de Mayo or Labor Day. I’ve always kinda used them to “catch up.”
I crushed both my Netflix work and my narrating work. And had time to watch most of the Warriors game, in which they did indeed beat the Thunder to advance to the finals. Something I’d have completely seriously told you a week ago was impossible. They were getting CRUSHED by the Thunder. Crushed. They made adjustments. They battled. They won. They are an *incredible* team. And it’s not over. Cleveland is a very, very good team. Wouldn’t be surprised if that series, too, goes to seven games. We shall see.
AND had time to work on Josh’s feature tonight for a badass two hours. I can’t even remember the last time I was able to to do that. I have so much work to do on it, it’s not even funny. Jesus Christ, you guys…I have so much on my plate right now. It’s insane. But, I’m just trying to keep my head above water and take it one small step at a time.
The podcast honestly has me freaked the fuck out. Work with the Flix has been really, *really* time consuming…and there is SO MUCH work to do to get that podcast ready. So much work. Hours of editing. I think I might have time this weekend, but fuck me, even that I’m not sure will be enough. And the thing is, I can’t wait to put it out! Really. It’s going to be so freaking awesome! It just needs so much work.
The goal with that, I think as I’m sitting here, talking about the podcast…the goal with that will be to “catch up,” meaning get this first season all finished, and then start doing these episodes as we go, as we record them. That is the goal. That way, for season 2, it’s just a matter of putting the polish on them and sending them on their way. Not contrsucting them (almost) from scratch.
Anyway…busy day tomorrow. Busy busy busy. The good news is that I did knock one thing off my plate today; I cleared out the narration queue. I did almost 50 in two days to empty the thing, and it’s done. I also covered all of this re-do work for the Flix today, and got everything I need to knock out another huge section of the project tomorrow…barring any setbacks with these “re-do” files I just delivered. Or, are being delivered as I type this. Entering into a new phase with this whole shindig. Just gotta keep the foot on the gas pedal, you know?
Of course you do.
The writing…has to take a back seat for the next few weeks. It fucking kills me to write that, and it’s entirely my fault. *I* loaded up my plate with all this stuff. I made that decision. That’s on me. It’s a lesson that I intend to learn. Really. Writing is my priority, and it gets swallowed up when I put too much on my plate. So, I won’t in the future. I’m going to remember I need to say “no” to certain things. I honestly don’t know how I could possibly say “no” to anything that’s on my plate right now…but it’s something I have to learn how to do in the future. It’s holding me back.
So, I will finish what I’ve started, and I will remember this stretch of time and learn from it.
That’s the plan.
Night errbody. See you on the flip!
