Catch up

Had a reading of my new film script Adonis last night, though I only managed to draft it to page seventy. It was pretty stressful for me, as it was a completely unedited first draft of atypical subject matter and it was more flawed than I hoped it would be, but the feedback was useful. I’m so lucky to have such intelligent friends. So at least I do have a direction to go in for the edit.

Tired today. Nowhere to be, and slightly burnt out from the burst of focus I dug up for the last couple days. I plan to spend today cleaning my wreck of a house. I’ve already taken care of the kitchen, but my room is a disaster area, and the bathrooms could use scrubbing. Since Mom passed I’ve been very lax on chores, at least by my standards, and I’d like to get into a routine again.

I shouldn’t take too long before I get back to work. I need to revise Adonis by the end of the month, plus keep the momentum up on Puzzle House Blues. But I’m going to be a bit easy today, even if I do decide to do some work.
