Day 469: Deadlines
Dome city tonight by Steve R. Dodd. There was a deadline hit today. I got my newest draft of my pilot script finito and sent off to a couple people who are near and dear to me, charged with helping me get the *next* draft finito and in good shape to share with even...
Day 468: Le Quick
Tonight is a quick entry. Didn't get as much writing done as I'd hoped and feeling a bit exhausted and frustrated. I *did* get some rewrites done...but I remain disconnected from my pilot. I don't know where its heart is. I haven't unlocked the key to the emotional...
Day 467: Cleeeaaannnn Sheets
Comets and Rings by Frank Kelly Freas are our artwork tonight. Ahhhhhhhh. They're so freaking magical, am I right? Of course I am, we all know this to be a truth of the universe. The Ho and I are currently reveling in them. The fruits of laundry labor. To be honest,...
Day 466: Da Nineties
The Ho and I just took a trip on our time-traveling couch to the 90s. We watched the pilot episode of the X-Files. It's a (not) surprisingly good pilot. It's tight, fun scary shit happens, the character dynamics are very clearly set from the get-go, and ultimately...
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...
