As you can see by the ticker below, it's Day 20/34,288 words. So, I'm ahead of my goal of 1k a day and I'm happy.

But I'm even happier with the progress of my screenplay in it's second incarnation. I'm done! Finished it at 6:00 am on Tuesday (yesterday) and I've been bouncing off walls ever since. Of course, now the bad news. It's 155 pages. I have to cut 26 pages or more and I keep finding things I need to add; a character here, a sentence there, and entire scene over there. Argggggg.

I pulled out the script from the original movie and was blown away by how poorly written it was and yet, it was turned into a movie. I guess when you're the writer and producer with a major production company behind you, you can do almost anything. But the movie was fantastic. I still find people who know and love the movie and it hit the big screen 16 years ago.

So, as a reward/celebration, I went to the High Museum today (by myself, which is New Me material in and of itself - hated doing things like that by myself) to see the Leonardo Da Vinci Exhibit. Glad I went. Wasn't what I expected. Stirred up the desire to draw again though I haven't a clue where my drawing supplies are and would hate to have to buy them all over again. Oh well,...

Currently on vacation and not looking forward to it ending. Spent a great deal of time with friends, made new friends, and spent the majority of my time writing. Now I just have to keep myself motivated enought to keep writing while also keeping my nose to the grind stone. And work part time on my businesses, and devote the rest of my time to my classes. 2010 is going to be busy, busy, busy. But I had an ephiphany that was also one of those duh moments, I can work for someone else and receive a limited income or I can work for myself and have unlimited potential income. It all depends directly on my efforts. Just have to keep motivated.

So, look out world, here I come.....
