Well, today is the last day before I go back to work full-time. I've been out on medical leave after some relatively minor surgery. And, I am definitely not fully back to 100%, but I'm going to start working full time tomorrow. I have already been working part-time for a week and that has been a good transition. Yesterday, however, was the first part-time day I had at work - rather than from home. It was hard. I was very tired by the end of the day. But that means I slept pretty well last night.
I finally set up a wine tasting at my house. It's nice to have plan to have people over, get them drunk, and watch what they do -- but we're all friends here. In truth, it will just be nice to have people around. After a few weeks of relative isolation, it's so very nice to think that the house will be full of people. Too bad I have to get all the food together - but that's what high-end deli's are for right?
So many have been fascinated by stories/movies/tv focused on terrorism for the last several years. This has been a long time coming, but I think we are moving away from those stories. We are tired of being afraid. This is exciting and scary for a writer. I've said it often, it's always easiest to write about fear. But this fear fatigue is exciting because I think that escapism will follow. That intense creativity will be appealing to mass audiences. A great atmosphere for movies like Star Trek and Terminator 2. Star Trek is already showing it's ability to appeal to both the die hard sci-fi geek and the mainstream person just looking for a couple hours of entertainment. I hope this is good timing then, for the next script being sci-fi.
I need to finalize a first draft of my step outline this weekend. I think the story is coming together and it's time for a little discipline, deadline, and doing! We'll see how it goes - I do have a wedding I might attend this weekend if I'm not destroyed by working full time. But, that's the deadline so...
