365 days of 40 #177-178

I'm stressed about life, though I am now officially employed.  I got a job back at SLCC working in the computer lab.  Unfortunately, it's a part time position, but work is work, so I'm not going to complain too much.   I'm just going to take advantage as much as possible of the position and do everything I can to keep moving forward, so I don't lose momentum.

The last few days, I've really been focusing on script writing, in this case, it's Just After a Lifetime (a new title will be forthcoming), which is coming along slowly.  Once I got into my rewrite, it became more intense than I was expecting, but not necessarily in a bad way.  The action sequences are working just fine, it's the relationship between my leads that's where the problem was, so I've been working on improving and pumping it up.  It took me a lot longer than I had expected to figure out the problem or rather how to fix the problem, but at least I figured it out.  The hardest part now is actually writing the scenes.  I know what the outcome of the relationship is, it's just filling out the scenes with more "juice" between them.  I think they don't have as much substance as they need to have and consequently, the relationship feels really anemic, and since anemia is bad in many many ways, I'm trying to give it a blood transfusion.

Okay, I can tell it's getting really late and I'm getting loopy, because I'm starting to use really bad analogies for my writing, which means it's getting to be time for me to go to bed.  Tomorrow, I need to spend the day cleaning my house, I can't stand it anymore.  Hopefully, I can have a good productive day, writing and cleaning, then do something very exciting in the evening.  What that might be, I have absolutely no idea, though it's probably going to have something to do with my Kickstarter project that I started.  I'm going to take my time getting it all in order, there is no rush, but since it's February 1st, having a deadline to launch it of May 1, gives me 90 days to put it together.

All of a sudden, I feel good about that, especially since I set that arbitrary date just now.  90 days is a good amount of time to have a good concrete plan for the next step in my career.  I'm excited about getting my project off the ground.
