Frustrated. With myself, mostly. Been trying to get organized and actually WRITE all day. I mean, I wrote a little, but not what I was supposed to be doing and I want to be able to send a significant chunk, if not the whole first draft of my latest feature script to the Greenhouse Writers Group, and the deadline for this month’s meeting is Tuesday the 15th, and I’m nowhere near where I want to be, story-wise.
Got this thing up and running, then spent an inordinate amount of time trying to make it look right (although a lot less time than I’ve spent in the past).
I need to focus on my VISION (which I’m not sharing). I need to get motivated. I need to stop thinking about what I don’t have or what is no longer with me and focus on creating the future.
To remind you, my three MISSION steps for advancing my writing career (in lockstep with my VISION):
