Waiting

Graduate school admissions come out this month. So far I've heard back from two out of four. Unfortunately, no acceptances yet. Instead I've received one expected rejection, and one placement on a wait list. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to even be considered for the wait list, but the word wait seems to be looming over me. It's basically the theme of my life during this month of March. Wait. Wait. Wait. I'm ready for April to be here already!

Fortunately, all the waiting has done wonders for my productivity level. I've spotlessly cleaned every nook of my apartment, baked dozens of cupcakes, watched countless episodes of 48 Hours Mystery, and finally solidified what I want to write about for Script Frenzy.*[[MORE]]

So here it is. I plan to write about an elderly couple that independently owns a wedding chapel in a small, rural town, located nowhere in particular. When the couple's hearing and sight begin to fade due to their age, they start handing out marriage certificates to anyone. Even thirty-year-old, Jake Townsing, and his RealDoll, Christie. This only causes outrage, and protest from the uptight citizens from the yet-to-be-named town. The drama will unfold!

So while waiting is a pain, I guess it does have an upside for me. It causes me to focus my looming thoughts on various productive activities, like writing.

In fact, I think everybody has something that pushes them to their height of productivity. So, what is your pusher? What's the thing that makes you want to clear your mind and focus your attention?
