Today was a raw day. Not sure why…it just was.
I did a lot of reading. I watched a movie, Lion, and wrote a review of it. It was an Oscar contender a couple years ago, and I can see why. It’s not a perfect movie, but what it lacks in the middle are more than made up for with the beginning and end. Go see it. It’s streaming on Netflix right now.
I just realized that I didn’t write today. I’m not going to sweat it. It’s not about keeping a streak going, it’s about committing each and every day to writing that day…so I’ll do that tomorrow. Now, it’s time for sleep. I am TIRED 😛
Spoke to my mom, she’s good. Hanging out with my dad at their property in the Sierra Nevadas. My grandmother’s old property. Hardly saw Liz today; she was busy. It was just me and the pups. It sounds like today wasn’t a good day…but it *was*…I can’t really say why, but it was. I guess watching the movie and reading what I read today about Story and how to tell it well just made me feel very emotional in the kind of way that reminds my of WHY I write the stories I do…the kinds of emotions and humanity that interest me, and it reminded me of how important it is to put them into my stories.
I haven’t found all that yet in my story.
I’ll get there. I know where I want to go, I just have to find my way.
Wish me luck.
Night! 🙂
