I spend the entire day fighting to keep my eyes open and
even fall asleep for a few minutes while on a float in the pool but just can't
sleep when night falls. Right now I'm tossing and turning (actually I'm writing
this blog but you know what I mean) and I just can't stop my mind from
churning. I've come up with this whole new script for the TV show Law and
Order: SVU but still nothing new for the
screenplay. Even earlier today I started writing an outline for an eBook on
forgiveness and I keep returning to another eBook for writers. A whole lotta
stuff about writing new projects but not a word written on the project most
dear to my heart. Can you say arrrrrge?!!!!!
I was really close. So most of you know
that I'm single and I've recently started actively meeting guys from on-line
sites (yes mom, I'm being careful). I received a phone call from one guy and we
talked about the screenplay. I got so interested in my screenplay again that I
was excited to get to the page but I procrastinated and lost my ambition. This
same guy had inspired an idea for a book project that I plan to work on during
this Novembers www.nanowrimo.org
event where thousands of aspiring
writers commit to writing a 50,000 word novel in thirty days. I've done it two
years now (won one - of course winning consists of just reaching the goal and
receiving a certificate of completion but hey, how many other people can say
they've written a 50k word novel in a month?) Of course my novel is no where
near finished even at 50,000 words and it's still in its first draft. But my
point is that I seemed to have found a muse and I haven't even meet him face to
face yet. I'm not even sure romance will bloom but I like being inspired. Now
if only he'll call again. Maybe then I can actually get a couple of pages
written on the screenplay. ARRRRRGE!!!!!
On a side note, a good friend of
mine recently inherited the original Crossroads guitar of Eric Clapton from a
co-worker along with other very valuable guitars. Amazing. Simply amazing. I can't wait to set
my eyes on that guitar. Think maybe I might be able to touch the guitar of who
some people say is god? Tune in next time.....
