Y’all, Maniac on Netflix is soooo gooooood. Truly. Fan. Tastic. Do yourself a favor: watch it.
Writing. Acting. Humor. Drama. Directing. Visuals. Characters…it’s so weird, and so funny, and so poignant. And they stick the landing, for the most part. And by that I mean that they get the ending *right*. Thank lawdy. I was 100% in. It’s one of the best-written shows I’ve seen in a very, very long time. Bowled over by the writing and the direction, particularly. And the acting.
Watch it.
I tried my first day of writing in the early evening today. It was…difficult. It didn’t feel right 😛 But, I expected that. I wrote about 1,200 words today. I aim to at least double that tomorrow, though I’m aiming higher than that: I want a full 4,000 words.
I worked out. I did errands, and I read. I got to hang out with the Ho. I did everything today. I can’t remember the last time I could say that. This might be a schedule that actually works for me. I hope it is. And if it isn’t, that’s okay, too. I have one I know that works for me at least for the writing, and I can continue to just make room for things as I need to.
I want to go write for a little bit before I sleep, so I’m going to leave you now. But, know that I’m so happy to have you here, reading my inane thoughts about my day, my obsession with work and with writing, and my constantly beating myself up for not doing better. I know that sounds sarcastic, but it’s not. This is me. Truly me. And I’m happy to share that with you, because it’s the truth. So, thank you for being here, and thank you for listening.
And go watch Maniac! 🙂
