Day 150: Quiet.

Day 150.

From the frenzy of the final days of the crusade to the excitement of the trip to Dublin to the intensity of the first week back to the lovely holiday weekend comes quiet—slow, still, quiet.  After exhaustion is met with sleep, nutrition, long walks and mindless TV, what next?  The urge to step back into 100 miles a minute is strong.  The urge to stay grounded, to organize, to refocus, to create new game plans and to prepare for what’s next is stronger.

Quiet

What is next?  Many things.  But specifically, for me, writing is next.  Number one on my list for today is, “Plan Writing Schedule.”  I have a screenplay to finish.

As for the documentary, Dan the Amazing Editor Man and his trusty intern are currently working on it.  And, the other two projects are in process.  I had an awesome meeting with Screenwriter Monica and Director Brenda this past Friday.  That project is getting seriously dialed in and I’m excited about it.  Next meeting is on the books for Juneth.  For the other project, I’m waiting to hear back from a potential director and her vision for where she’d want to take a rewrite and her overall vision for the film.  Fun.  Exciting.  Movement.

But for now, I sit in the quiet.  I can’t wait to see what it brings today—what I create from it.

Until tomorrow, create from what you have…quiet.
