"Downstairs" should be supernatural. I did not catch that swype error before posting. *sigh*

For what started it as a potential Hallmark-y downstairs romance, it has become a complicated weaving of story threads.
As per usual.
Also not sure if this should be a feature or a book. #WritingCommunity #scriptsky

Had a nice brainstorming session. May have cracked a few more points to my new story. Still far from being able to start writing though. #scriptsky

I've had five days off. It was lovely. I don't want to go back to work tomorrow.

I bought a book because someone asked me to make them. 😂 The iguana's a little wonky, but it gives him character.

Mine has been nicknamed "cheese pie". Make as normal, but use very little tomato sauce and a lot of ricotta and mozzarella.

Caught in a catch-22 of too much experience for entry level, not enough of the exact experience that 100 other people do have. Do I stop pursuing media and try and do Salesforce or tech project coordinator? Not sure if I'll end up with the same catch-22. (2/2)

Brain won't shut down and started thinking about how frustrating finding a job is for me. I started crying because it's never been easy, even as an engineer. Now everything feels so much worse. ATS, ghost jobs, and jobs closed within a few hours with 100+ applications. (1/2)

Hmm... I think this is the first story idea where I have vibes more than plot. But definitely need to figure out plot because I feel it's important.
Definitely not enough outlined to write it for ZD30.

I've tried this several times already in the past few years (since I regained the weight) and I always fall off after a week or so.

Not particularly fond of these pics, but they're not supposed to be flattering. Day 1 of trying to get in shape, lose 10-15 lbs, and tone trouble areas. Deadline: October Now to figure out a routine (and stick with it) being my weekly bathroom lesson. Help? 😅

This is the vaguest recruiter email I've ever gotten. Even weirder than the one that still had the [fill in something personal] brackets. At least that one told me what the job was.

I don't know what's worse: - applying to jobs listings that don't actually exist or - finding a job you can do, you have a contact at the company, and despite it coming up in a google search, doesn't actually exist anymore. At least I didn't spend time updating my resume yet.

If it makes you feel any better, you lose the coordination of eating if you haven't for a few days. For some reason it's 'use or lose it'.

Well this is getting complicated, as usual. 😅
I have my setting (mostly), character archetypes, and structure. Plot is emerging, but feels a bit "been there, time that" at the moment. The unique moment(s) are still eluding me. #scriptsky

I'm not a morning person so I need to give myself a bit more time to eat in the morning before leaving for work. If I worked remote, everything probably would be pushed back an hour. I usually don't need a morning snack, but I used to when I had to get up an hour earlier than I currently do.

1pm is a late lunch. There are some cultures who have their biggest meal at 'lunch' and therefore might call it dinner, but, do they not eat anything after that?

I've barely made it through one laundry basket of yarn, much less my stash.🤣 Doesn't help that free time is taken up by other hobbies. That looks pretty. 5 strands? Worsted or smaller? I was working with 2 and a J hook and it was tedious.

The heist is: fleshed out beginning [things happen] fleshed out [heist happens] [semi outlined ending] A lovely 23 pages. 😅 the other feature at least made it to 60 pages.

One of those partially done ones I have a draft of, but need to go back to the drawing board on execution. The other one's a heist and I need more scenes and to figure out specifics for the heist.

I sometimes do too. Right now I have 3 rough drafts, I'm not ready to tackle draft 2 on them (not sure they're worth pursing), and all my other ideas are not ready to be written yet. I do have 2 that are partially done, but I haven't had a breakthrough on those in a while.

I have a new year's resolution of not buying yarn this year unless it's for a project someone's paying me for. So far it's looking good that I'll keep that resolution.

Since November I've written first drafts of 2 features, one pilot, and done semi-extensive rewrites on a feature and two pilots. Now to figure out what to work on while waiting for my writing group to read. #scriptsky
