First Day of the Full Moon

Uranus, Mars, Mercury Retrograde

Rainy and cold

There’s a new post over on Gratitude and Growth about the garden.

If you’re interested in the first part of my experiments in social media, I have a post about that up over on Ink-Dipped Advice.

I spent the bulk of yesterday working on the new screenplay, and wrote an additional 24 pages. So, in less than 24 hours, I wrote 36 pages, almost to the end of where I’d outlined. It definitely needs work, but I like the flow, and I’m telling the story I want to tell. Making it work for the chosen format will come in the later drafts.

I love working in the Drama Queen software, though. I really, really like it. Whereas every line indicator was a fight with Trelby, Drama Queen does as I ask the first time.

As I progressed on my day, I wondered WHY I was berating myself for working on this. I’m on top of my deadlines. I’m not as far ahead with Legerdemain as I’d like, but I’m also not behind. So, what’s the problem?

There isn’t one, except for an outdated concept of what I “should” be doing.

I have the gift of (mostly) creating my day as I see fit. Why not go with the flow?

One frustrating thing was that I’m almost out of ink on the new printer THREE DAYS after I set it up. Yet another reason to get the laser printer fixed. I can’t buy new ink every three days. I can’t afford it. I’m going to track the ink in my calendar.

The cartridges on the laser printer lasted usually around 6 months.

I did the social media rounds. I printed out the contest sheets (they didn’t send me an inventory) from the judging dashboard. I turned around a couple of scripts.

I read the next book for review. I will write up both reviews this morning and invoice this batch. I’ll start the contest entries this weekend.

Episode 48 of Legerdemain drops today, and I hope you enjoy it.

I have meditation this morning, and then I’m off to the grocery store, before the bad weather moves in. Once I get back, I’ll do promotion for the new episode of Legerdemain, work on the screenplay some more, and, hopefully, write another episode of Legerdemain. Or I might to the Legerdemain episode first. We’ll see where the energy flow is, and work with that.

Tonight is the last night to put on the tree and all the lights. Tomorrow, they start coming down. I have a feeling it will take us all weekend to take everything down and put it away.

Have a good one, my friends!
