There's Something Special...

About Saturday mornings.

Well, yeah, the obvious, of course. No work. Which means, usually, no stress. Sometimes, there's running around, but that's not the same thing.

This morning is blissfully quiet. There's an occasional noise outside, but mostly, it's just the birds singing. There's early morning high clouds, so it's not quite all the way light, but it'll be GLORIOUS later. It's supposed to be beautiful and mid-70's.

Very nice. :)

Looking forward to breakfast and letting some of the week's stress drain away.

I'd been worried about the man with the Down's syndrome son, but he was there WITH his son last week, so I know everything is okay.

I have so many exciting things to work on that I just don't know where to start.

Sometimes, it seems like everything in my brain is connected. I start brainstorming one project and it leads to another--then another--and still another. Then, much to my surprise, it'll lead to a break-though on something I'd already brainstormed and/or plotted, or something I hadn't completely figured out yet, and my brain feels like one giant puzzle, with all the pieces falling into place.

I want to make changes on some of my screenplays. Super Mom and Atonement for sure. Not sure about I Sold My Soul to Santa yet. Maybe. Got to read through Cereal Killer to see what it needs.

Screenplays are generally quick reads, so it won't take me long. I wish I could print Cereal Killer and take it with me to breakfast, but I'm down to my last ream of paper and didn't realize it. I must pick up another case when Staples opens.

Got the new screenplay to start. Wish I could think of a title. It's still just beyond my realm of consciousness, though I know it's there and will come to me when it's ready.

I'm excited about it. I hope it turns out well.

And, then, while my brain was working on that during lunchtime yesterday, I got a flash of inspiration for the beginning of a novel that I'd left open for a long time. I had vague impressions of what it would be...kinda. I mean, I knew what the event was, but not the details of it.

Then, all of the sudden yesterday, my brain GUSHED scenes and details and it tied out to ANOTHER idea I'd wanted to use, but hadn't figured out how to work in, and it was amazing.

Ever since I decided to start querying screenplays again...my creative brain as gone into over-drive and it's WONDERFUL. I wish it would never stop.

Thanks to people who gave me their thoughts on movies. I might throw out some loglines at some point to see if anyone on my FL would consider seeing the types of movies I write.

Maybe. Depends on how the day goes. I know I have to take youngest to school. He's doing lights and spotlight for...for...yikes, what's the name of that play? It's something some students are doing for a senior drama project and now I've gone blank. But they have rehearsal today.

And, now, they want him to be President of the Drama Club next year, even though he'll only be a sophomore. And, since the drama teacher found out he can sing (on-key even...most of the teenage boys can't at his school, I guess), they want him to try out for Grease next year. (I love Grease.)

He's really getting into musicals. He adores Phantom of the Opera and was singing along to the CD all the way home yesterday. So...we might price voice lessons. (Though I CRINGE to think how expensive they'll be!) He really wants to do that...and take piano lessons. Which I would LOVE for him to do. I took piano lessons for 7 or 8 years myself. But, we don't have a piano for him to practice, so I don't know if there's any way to work around that.

Well, off to breakfast. I hope everyone has an AMAZING day!!!
