Start Dates, pt. 2

Back in the summer I set a start date of February 2nd for my next feature. I've labored vaguely towards that date ever since, hoping that all the pieces fall into place just so to enable us to get moving by that date. It's a wintry movie, of course, and February 2nd seemed the most reasonable date by which we might be ready to roll while still affording us the brunt of the Texas winter.

But as the weeks ticked on and other projects presented themselves, the possibility of really and truly being ready was knelled by the rusty scraping sound that signifies the skin of one's teeth, I decided not to sweat it. We'll start next fall, on a different day, when the winter's just beginning, the ducks are lined up properly, the maids are in a row and so on and so forth. I'm only in a hurry when I think about getting older, which is something I try to do less and less. The movie will be done before we know it, and it'll be nine months better than it would have been otherwise.
