Day 152: Be Gentle

Day 152.  If by doing prep work on my script to begin writing pages I meant juicing, cooking, three hour phone calls with my sister, compulsively checking Facebook, my emails and my voicemails, then I’m right on track!  UGH.  What is my deal?  I woke up this morning angry at myself because I can’t seem to crack open the script.  Eye Doc Sis says I’m still tired, I need a longer break after the editing crusade.  Maybe.  I don’t know.  I hope to figure it out and in the process get my head back in the game of finishing my screenplay.  In the meantime, I plan to calm down and be gentle with myself.  If I still haven’t gotten in a writing state of mind by tomorrow, well, then the whip will be cracked!

Until tomorrow, create from what you have…and be gentle until you have to crack the whip.
