Routine, Or Something Like It

Last week, just to clear my mind of all that's been plaguing it, I wrote a thirty page script. I started it on Monday, thinking I'd be able to finish it in a day, and wrapped it up on Thursday, having remembered that telling a well structured story is hard and bloody work, regardless of page counts.

But it served its purpose. This morning I woke up feeling unusually light in body and spirit (as opposed to my normal pre-noon suicidal tendencies). I turned back to this long-gestating feature, wrote a little, made coffee, wrote a little more, made a salad, started editing, fielded a few phone calls, finished a cut of the new short, exported some OMFs for Yen's short film, went grocery shopping, bought seven pounds of carrots, went home, sat out on the porch and wrote some more, poured a glass of wine and am now, at one in the morning, making of this post a consitutional before heading towards the home stretch on this script. I won't finish it tonight, but I think I'll be close. It's about time.

Tomorrow's forecast: oversleeping, with a chance of doldrums. They come and they go.
