FINISH

Okay. rough day. I give you that. Intestinal turpitude. Enough said. That is your word for the day TURPITUDE. Look it up.

Did do the gym. Hey that is non-negotiable on a Wednesday, right? Unless a limb is broken or blood issuing from and unpredicted orifice one must work out on a Wednesday.

I even wrote a bit. Not much, but a bit. I could have finished if I'd been diligent. But given that I am 90% done the I DON'T WANT TO FINISH monster takes over. He is very hairy and likes to dance around my head shaking maracas while shouting loudly and hoarsely that we are almost done. Not quite, but almost. So I have to distract him by waxing my legs and writing this blog so he'll look the other way long enough for me to finish.

I have my alarm set for 3 am - wish me luck. Proof is on the page kids. Is it weird that I am looking forward to going to work tomorrow. Because there I have to deliver what is expected. Here I have to deliver what is unexpected. Suddenly my day job is less stressful than my life. Hmmmm.

Okay schmoop. What the hell? You had a huge flash of fear a moment ago when opening your short script. What’s that about? You are scared that people won’t like it, aren’t you? Or won’t like it as much as The Lobby. Well cowboy up ya big sissy. You are a writer. You write things. And yes people judge the things that you write. Sometimes they like it. Sometimes they don’t. Get over yourself already and get some product on the shelf! Listen to Mina Shum! Don’t take “no” for an answer, especially not from yourself. Crimminy Jickets, you know how to do this. You love this little story. So tell it that way and from that place. It is after all the story of a girl who gets told “no” and yet carries on with a smile on her face and a song in her heart.
