Creating 2015—Day 38:   Working Weekend

I wish I could report that everything is going perfectly.  That I have everything done.  That I am ahead of the 8-Ball. But if I report those things, I’d be lying out my ass.  I can report that things are moving along, slowly but surely.  I needed to get more done today than I ended up getting done. But so be it.  I’m about to face plant after only five hours of sleep last night.   I’m exhausted but the irony is I can’t sleep.

Behind the 8-Ball

I am more than a tad overwhelmed and wired by all that’s going on between my two movies.  I have a festival deadline for one on Monday and a festival deadline on Tuesday for the other one plus a whole bunch of accounting stuff for the former that has a deadline on Wednesday.

Deep breath.

Yesterday, I was reminded in a comment from my amazing Screenwriter Cindy the advice I gave her as she was recently under massive pressure from a book deadline she had: “Sending you light for a clear voice, vision and communication. Stay grounded. Stay centered. Stay slow. You can hold all of this expansion!!!”  It worked for her.  She knocked that book out of the deadline park!  Thank you for the reminder, my amazing friend.  I will do my best.

Until tomorrow, create from what you have…an 8-ball to get ahead of.
