It was a rough week this past week for me creatively. Practically a zero.
I did get ONE good, long writing session in, so it wasn’t entirely lost. But, it was a hard one.
It happens. I think it’s always going to happen. Embracing that and just letting go of the idea that they shouldn’t ever happen…that’s important for me. Rarely ever is my problem that I’m being too lax. It’s always that I’m trying to hold on too tight, and that paralyzes me.
So, I will let this past week go. I will move forward.
I worked hard today on “catching up” with my Film School editing and post. I want to get back to the place where I’m editing and posting one episode each weekend…and since we’re ahead on our recording schedule, I want that one episode each weekend to be ahead. Not episodes recorded and piling up. Cleared out. Each one that gets recorded gets editing and scheduled for posting immediately each week. THAT…sounds like heaven. And I can do it.
It makes me think about how my system has broken down a bit with the podcasting. We changed up our equipment, which made the old checklist I’d created obsolete and so I stopped using it entirely. I felt much more organized and on top of things when I was using that checklist, so that’s a first step: get that checklist back up and running.
And, with the writing, the next two weeks are likely going to be difficult, to be honest. I’m traveling again. That always, always impacts my writing. So…I’m just going to do my best. And if I need an extra week before I meet with J again to go over chapters…so be it.
Just let go.
It’s time for bed. Pups are up here with me all curled up and ready for sleep. Love them so much.
Oh, and the Niners won a game today they had no business winning. If Big Ben had been playing against us, it would have been a massacre. But, they didn’t. They had a rookie playing his first start in the NFL. So, they had no offense. They couldn’t take advantage of the gifts we were offering them. So…we won. 3-0 for the first time since 1998. YEAH!
Night.
