Lots of Nothing Going On

Okay, well, maybe it's not NOTHING, but it's not my usual routine, so it's more...nothing...than I'm used to.

(Did that make any sense at all?)

I'm considering whacking down my June writing goal to something small and just getting screenplay submissions ready to go, doing my queries for the week, and doing a lot of "nothing" while I get used to the new job.

I'd really like to get rested and relaxed and then tackle a monumental-type goal in July to get myself back into the real swing of writing. I think, though, that my brain needs to be cleansed and my body revived before I'm ready for anything big again.

Which is okay. I can deal with that.

( Yesterday )

Today, I'm going to write more and brainstorm more for my writing. And, try to put together some synopses and a plan for a new project that I want to try to sell to an American manga/manga novel company.

Also going to take a look at a screenplay that I want to send out (to the company where I get to send an actual screenplay instead of a query). It has to be out by the 24th, next Saturday.

I thought I'd decided for sure to send Cereal Killer, but now I'm wondering if I should send I Sold My Soul to Santa instead.

Oldest and I might go pick up a Round Table pizza (and split the cost) for dinner.

I wanted to go to Disneyland today, since it's the last time I can go (until late August) before cheap season pass blackout, but it's been so HOT lately that I didn't think it would be fun.

Other than that, I might play more Dragon Quest 8. I'm enjoying that game LOTS.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all you dads out there.

I'm Nervous

About starting the new job tomorrow.

Isn't that stupid?

Even though previous work went through changes and was purchased by current company, I had been there for six and a half years!!!

I haven't started a new job in FOREVER.

And, I'm nervous.

EXCITED...but nervous.

Words, Words, Words

Okay, so I gave it more thought, and decided definitely to lower my monthly word count goal. I think this is the first time I've done that. Other times, I've just missed them.

This time, I'm going to admit it. I need to rest. I need to recharge. I need to get used to this new job and let my brain cells revive and get ready to really get back to my writing.

So, monthly goal down from 45,000 words (1,500 words/day) to 30,000 words for the month (1,000 words/day). I think I can still handle that. :)
