New Page!

Oh hey, what do you know? It's a new page on the top header of my blog. I put up a quick short entry from a screenplay I'm currently working on. HTML ftw on the formatting! I'm glad I still remember all that from university. Film classes finally pay off! Hoping to get some more writing up on this blog over time so people can see what I'm up to and how it's going. Currently, I've been so busy that there hasn't been much time in the getting things ready for Internet consumption but more to come soon!

Who's really bad at actually updating this blog?

This person!

I guess I'm just bad at actually remembering to do things. It's the remembering that's an issue recently. Not that I haven't been writing. That's been the issue in the past. The writing is going along at a good but steady pace. It's the reminding to actually write on this blog that's taken a backseat to just about everything. There's not much to update about to be honest. 

Did I do Camp NaNoWriMo for July 2013? Yes!

How'd it go? I'd rather not talk about it to be honest. It needs some polishing... a lot of it. That work isn't ready to see or even hear about the light of day. But it's another piece of work under my belt. Another 60k words that might otherwise not have been written. So I'll be happy and content knowing that I did what I set out to do. Follow through can be a wonderful thing in the long term setting and, for a writer, it's less about being inspired and more about getting in the habit of writing. 

I've read that in so many books: that you must feel compelled to write, as if not writing today would kill you!

I guess I'm not quite to that point yet. I have so much else going on in my life. But I am getting there and it's an ongoing struggle that I'm glad I am able to do. Most people don't get the chance t chase their dreams or try and make something out of their lives. I get the wonderful chance, the challenging and awe-inspiring chance to dream chase without being hindered by things that might otherwise stop me! I revel in the thought that I get to do what I want and possibly make money doing it. It's a crazy but wonderful thing and I am so thankful that I get the chance to do it, even if it makes me stay up late into the night because I can't stop writing!

I'll take a few sleepless nights. It's worth it.
