Who's the Man?

Today, I'm taking that title. After yesterday (a scheduled day off; still recovering from my cold/allergies, whatever--but still going out for needed errands), I was certain I would not do any writing on the new script, as I had planned. I even told friend Chris that I was "determined" to get some work done on these two consecutive days away from the store (which, of course has turned out to be about 4 days off from work; w/ the sickness and all). Woke up today, not feeling all that motivated; although my sickness is on the outs. It's so nice to breathe, isn't it? I dragged this morning. The other half want to UCLA for some Saturday sporting event; leaving me to my own devices. Television? Hmmm. Sounds good. Binge eating? Sure! Playing on the internet. Why, of course! Who wouldn't like that? Piddling away some time on the new website. Sure, for a while. It's productive, but not a high priority. What was that? What did you say? Work on the Simon Baker script you haven't so much as looked at since about Turkey Day...in 2008!? Don't be absurd. And yet, I took a gander, wrote about 3 pages in the climax; ran next door for an ice cream treat; happy w/ just those 3 pages. I returned home, and wrote an entire new scene; 7 pages worth. It's too long, but I'll be able to get some good stuff out of it. 10 friggin' pages today; when I wouldn't have expected ANY. All of the wacky negativity I've felt over the past week is gone; replaced by joy at the return to my story. I'm now @ about 102 pages total. I've got a bit of a way to go, but I'm certainly filling in some of the gaps. I'm so proud of myself. Let me just keep this revival going; at least another 2 weeks; enough time to finish a rough draft. Please Lord. I'm so ready to get some opinions on this one. What I wrote today...hmm. Was it over the top? I liked it, but did it keep in line w/ the rest of the script? Hell, it's better than nothing. I'll leave it at that.

Today folks. You are reading words directly from "the man". Thank you very much.
