Nothing Like A Deadline...

...to get me inspired. I'm used to working under lots of deadlines at work, so that tends to motivate me in my writing at home as well. So, it was only 8 1/2 pages but they were solid, edited pages ready to critique. Whew!

I know I've been slacking lately on my writing, but I've been busy. Doing what? I don't know. There is this awards program at work that's a cross between the Oscars and Saturday Night Live. I'm on the committee and sub-chair of producing the (humorous) videos. We've been shooting the last couple of weeks and let me tell you. Movie making is stressful, tedious and time consuming. Especially when you have to coordinate with the "actors" schedules which include work-related meetings, vacations and other irritants. I've also been writing the scripts for these said videos so that's kinda been sapping my creativity for my other endeavors. I really hate it when work interferes with my personal life!

The PACE awards is September 8th and while it's fun and creative "putting on a show" I'm REALLY looking forward to it being over with.

On another note I have a dentist appointment to have some fillings done tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. I must be some kind of masochist.

Now there's a post I can relate to. That darn day job that so interferes with important stuff like golf and my writing. Too bad I'm so attached to this lifestyle and prefer being able to pay the bills thus incurred.
