Phew

I handed in my second assignment today. I thought I was going to have more leeway with time than I ended up with. I mean it wasn't a last minute job by any stretch but writing up over the final weekend is never meant to be easy... Except for me it seems to be. I always get things done by the skin of my teeth. I did make a point of proof reading this one though. Three times. Then once more. The biggest problem with the whole thing was word count and duplication of points. I had 3900 words for something that I'd set a max of 2500 for. In the end it was 2200 so I guess that worked out. My first ever script report, cast into the depths. I hope it was polite enough...

All I've got to do now is...

  • Write up my idea for a 30 minute movie (woo index cards!).
  • Work on my anthology submission as well as the anthology itself.
  • Think about my adaptation project.
  • Start reviewing other people's anthology bits.
  • Watch more short films.
  • Work on my other short story ideas.
  • Read more textbooks...

Onward!

Ugh…

I've not written anything for two days now. Even then the few days prior to that were meanderings, snatches of prose, small re-arrangements, nothing of note. Tuesday night I felt drunk without having touched a drop. Last night I fell asleep on the settee. I'm placing blame for this squarely at the feet of my day job, which appears to have descended once again into fixing other people's shitty data. I'm trying to make better use of my time, reading instead of just louging, but I'm not sure how much I'm learning in the interim. I just need to stop for a while, find my centre, get back on track. Here's hoping.
