Dateline 9-22-2017
/I seem to be ping-ponging back and forth between success and failure when it comes to my rewrite efforts. Where just yesterday I was reporting that I may have discovered a schedule that works for me, today I'm here to report that by the end of the night I ended up making no progress at all.
I'm not all that concerned by last night's failure though. Since I'm now less than a week into the rewrite process and already have 31 pages under my belt, I feel that I'm still on a good pace to finish at a reasonable time. Not only am I not all that concerned, I'm not upset with myself either because I have met every hard deadline that I've set for myself since the beginning of the year and this rewrite is meant to be more casual, at least until I settle into a groove.
Today might be another light lifting day as I anticipate another productive weekend. As with last weekend, and most others, Saturday and Sunday are "me days" where I lock myself in my room and keep to myself to work on whatever project I like, while the rest of the family is either out of town or busy in the main house doing their own thing, leaving me alone to write.
Until I find a schedule that works for me on the weekdays, I'm perfectly fine with this plan of having a super productive weekend with anything else being a bonus. Chances are, I won't even figure out my full work week until this draft of my novel is done but even that is fine with me because I already have four more novels to rewrite and over twenty feature-length screenplays to adapt, giving me plenty of time to figure this out since this will probably be going on for the rest of my life and this is just the start.
Based on this blog and over twenty years of prolific screenwriting, I'm not confident that I'll succeed financially based on the fact that I've barely made a dime but I am confident that I will finish what I start even if I don't live long enough to get all the way to the end.
So with that, it's now time to get to work on my SNL review, as always, I'll check in tomorrow with what ends up going down.
Talk to you then.
Sincerely,
The Wicker Breaker
