Where seeds of thought have room to grow

Between now (getting home from work, sipping on a warmed-up cup of coffee to see me through the evening and counter the effects of all the antihistamine I'm having to take for the cedar) and when I need to leave for class, I have about an hour… That's an hour to start dinner (only start – I'll…

I've procrastinated registering for the spring semester, and this is why: the advanced screenwriting class (which I should take so these first few pages don't just turn into dust, untouched and neglected) is an actual physical class, on a campus with traffic issues, parking issues, desks, as well as a teacher and classmates with faces. Well, that in…

I feel like celebrating tonight! Daniel checked his grades and he had three A's and two B's!!! He now has a 3.6 average – well, for this semester, anyway. This time last year he was on academic probation, so this is a HUGE leap. I am so proud of him, and happy for him, too,…

Most people, when they hear I'm still working on my bachelor's degree, are encouraging and supportive. They get it, even when they find out it's not in nursing, which seems to be the #1 middle-age-back-to-college choice because of the need for nurses, and therefore, great salaries and great return for the investment.

I totally apologize for my last post. Sometimes I drive myself crazy! The truth is, I talked to Tommy on the phone about his new job for almost an hour two nights ago. I've talked to my mom at least twice this week, my sister a couple of times, and three or four friends. …I'm working…

I hope I can keep it going…eventually. But for the next few days I'm going to be playing catch-up on everything around…

It's done. As of 9pm tonight, I completed twenty pages of my first screenplay ever. Next time you go see a movie, never EVER think writing it would be easy. I know, after this semester, I'll never see a movie with the same eyes as I did before. Writing this screenplay is something I've dreamed of…

I threw in the towel at 3am. For the first time in thirty years, I'm probably not going to get an A in a college class, but I reached the point last night when I just didn't care! My eyes were tired and my back hurt. A few hours of sleep seemed much more important. I'm…

Well, I made progress…not as much as I would have liked, but I have a teensy idea of an outline – the scene I should start with and how it will all work out. The problem is there is SO MUCH MATERIAL!! Now I'm thinking it would have been best to turn this into a…
