Not writing? What does that mean? Had a great catch-up call with my manager this week (still gives me a charge to be able to say that). As part of our respective “here’s what I’ve been up to”s, mine included…

THIRSTY THURSDAY! Feeling thirsty for different coaching run/walk intervals workouts. Also need to step up my pace. I’ve been working every day til 5 so I’m tired. At least I still came out! #FitnessFocus #NotGivingUp #LoveMyFamily #WWLifetimer

Got some fantastic script notes from my @theiwclist.bsky.social group that will be a huge help for the pending rewrite

Impromptu writing session yields 1 1/2 pages of the action-comedy spec

Still the first draft, but any progress is good progress

A few more pages into the action-comedy spec, emphasis on the comedy

Also getting better at keeping scenes as tight & to-the-point as possible

A big, beautiful mess of a first draft

The latter half of Act Two and most of Act Three are far from complete, but I started on pages of the action-comedy spec

2 pages in, and I am confident this is going to be a FUN ride

After much stress and frustration, I think I've finally made some decent progress on the story for my new spec

Bonus - might even take a stab at the first few pages to see if I can really capture the desired vibe

Once again, I've hit more obstacles. I'm not going to lie, it's been a bit discouraging, but I don't want to give up. I did create an alternative to the original project; however, it doesn't function quite as well as I would like it to.

Read a couple of scripts by a well-known pro writer

Very different premises/concepts, but each had their very distinct style & voice, plus high-quality, page-turning storytelling

I heartily embrace the challenge to step up my game

THE TITLE OF THE POEM:
On Difficult Discoverings

THE POEM:
Who wants them blatant?  Handed out like candy?
 
	Who’d have them centered in
	the undemanding openness
	of pedestrian thoroughfares...
  
		exaggerated, made apparent,
		left heads-up, shimmering
 
	like golden nuggets scattered casually
	for easy-peasy pocketing?
 
Why wouldn't you sooner risk exhaustion
	or muddied fingernails?
		Or the blistering friction
		delivering future callouses?
 
And why wouldn't you welcome
	full complements of scrapes and nicks
	authentic searches deserve and exert
	before the comfort of a core discovery?
 
Why shy from chiseling after prospecting,
		the splintering of thicknesses?
  
	It’s only then the softer brushing
can come back around
	to gently sweep the fossil dust
away.
 
Let’s love the struggle of uncovering new things,
abiding by painstaking breakthroughs
along with the promises of a delightful find.
 
Persist at even more peculiar truths:
  
			the heavy special revelations
			you and only you arrive at
			after trying everything. 


			. THE END OF THE POEM .

If 2️⃣5️⃣ people would repost and share my class wishlist then maybe 2️⃣5️⃣ 🧚‍♂️🥷🧑‍🎄🚂😇 might donate one item towards our food pantry. It’s difficult to teach children when they are hungry. Please help me provide this essential need at school. #NoChildHungry #NotGivingUp www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Mine was Hopeful. Yes I am, what else is there I could be? The opposite is Hopeless, a pretty crappy way to Live ones Life.
Thanks #HoneyBee🍯🐝

Almost back to a place where I can truly be a bit distracted by ordinary posts, again😓

Seeing posts about upcoming elections and other shit we can get done really helped.

The mug is too beautiful to throw away, so I'll repair it kintsugi-style and use it to hold pens or paintbrushes or some such.

So far, so good

Script strikes out on last contest of the year

Next year is all about making that script and another, plus a new one, as kickass as possible

Among the notes from a recent reader of my fantasy-comedy:

"The visual mayhem is beautiful"
&
"If this ever got made, the cat would steal the show"

I'll take it
