Day 465: Entanglement
I went to the WGA Foundation event "Beyond Words" tonight, which is the panel they do with all the screenwriters (or at least most of them) that have been nominated for best screenplay of the year. I went last year, and I'll probably go next year too. It's a...
Day 464: Hangin’ On
Tonight's yarrtwork is uncredited, unfortunately, but awesome nonetheless. It sounds like such a downer phrase, but I really don't mean it that way. This week has been helter-skelter, this is no doubt about that shit. But, despite all that, I am hangin' on. Hangin' in...
Day 463: Damage Control
Artwork tonight from Shimmering-Sword. I'm essentially in damage control mode with the work schedule at the moment...and you know what? It's working! I can see the forest from the trees, and there's a path leading to the promised land. I finished my read-through...
Day 462: Ploop
Tonight's artwork because I'm a sucker for a ship in deep space. It's by Frank Kelly Freas. Today was another one of those days, man. Nothing seemed to go right. I feel much MUCH less guilty about what happened today, however, than what transpired over the weekend....
Day 461: Inches
I watched the Super Bowl today. It was quite a game. Back and forth the entire time, with several momentum switches. It was really all about the last 2:00 of the game, tho. Pats scored the go-ahead touchdown right before the 2 minute warning, which meant the...
Day 460: Born to write
Chris Moore feels me tonight on breathing fire...or at least I'm feeling his fire-breathing ship. I've just read an article that, among other things, compared writing to mathematical genius and Beethoven. It was an essay on all of the crap writing that's out on the...
Day 459: 15 Pages
So, I finished the first past of this latest draft today. 15 pages written. I smelled the finish line on an, admittedly, small goal...but I did smell it nonetheless. And, so I powered through and just wrote the last few scenes that needed writing. Now, I can focus the...
Day 458: Drained
A cooling tower courtesy of Forget Sleep.com Today was a *beast*. Played tennis with Justin, came home and took a shower, wrote for an hour on the script (good stuff today), then got my solitary hour of work done on editing before apartment stuff took over. I walked...
Day 457: One of those days
Artwork tonight, continuing the theme lately of planet-rises or -sunsets, this freaking AWESOME piece is from Lucien Rudaux Content, the one with the stress on the -tent part, not the Con- part. As in, sitting up in my snuggly bed right now, iPad resting on my legs,...
Day 456: We’ll See
I was just doing my reading/editing of the novel for the night, and I realized I read 7 pages more than I was supposed to. It's hard for me to say that it "sucked me in," because that rarely happens with something I've written. I can't help but read it with a more...
