Theatrical Tuesday - First Days

L4BB3-67RLK3J_RoyRThis day is an important one for many who are returning to school or going for the first time ever in their life. My toddler buddy, whom I can no longer call a toddler, is having his first day ever. He's growing up too fast. I suppose he's now my little buddy for lack of a better term at this time.

For some others, they welcome new additions in their families. I have two friends with newborns. One is less than 12 hours old at this point. Both families and doing well and their babies are as adorable as you might expect.

For myself and at least 4 of my friends, we're starting college today. The day is filled with events, live music, and we meet our classmates for the first time. My lunch is packed, I've showered, and all that's left is finishing my breakfast, dressing, and brushing my teeth before I head off to catch the bus.

My OSAP is in already, so I can purchase my license for the student edition of Final Draft and a locker shelf if those are available somewhere. I wish I though of the shelf sooner, but it's been a while since I last had a locker.

I thought I'd have more done by the time this day arrived, but here it is. I could have used a little more sleep and another week, but often we must do our best with what we are given.

Thank you to all my friends and family who have supported me as I take this step.

I'm off to begin my Scriptwriting journey.

Guid cheerio the nou,
R~

2020 Vision

Mostly, I’ve been planning for the new year, but I discovered I know Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. It was a recollection under the influence that brought this to light. I also discovered I still suck at drawing, but I’m okay with that. I used to think I had to be good at everything, and I’ve realized that’s just not so. Some friends and I recently hit up a local board game pub. It was a pretty fun night. The first game was Balderdash and I was terrible at it. Because I was the writer in the group, some of my friends thought I should be more embarrassed about it and hide the fact that I don’t spend all my free time learning advanced vocabulary. But I’m not upset about it. Why? Two reasons: 1. I now know what I don’t know. 2. If one takes a close look at the top selling novels on the market, the level of the language used is not the level of many of the words in Balderdash. Not that I’m comparing my own work to those, but audience is what matters in writing. To me, it is far better to e...

Merry Monday - A beautiful day for taxes

[caption id="attachment_4711" align="alignright" width="300"] Image created using Bit Strips.[/caption] With French done, I have a lot of other things to catch up on. It seems like I have Mount Everest ahead of me, but I'm just going through the list one at a time. I've gotten a couple of things done and some started. Renovations Before the weekend, my new kitchen floor was installed. After the credits that Jiffy gave me, install cost less than $40. The old floor was light grey peel and stick tile, which was peeling itself up on the edges. Because I couldn't get all the glue up from the floor underneath the peel and stick, I needed to put new floor in. Oh, I started peeling it up with a hair dryer. I really don't recommend that. It doesn't get hot enough to work well. It was taking around 20 minutes each tile with the hair dryer. With a proper heat gun, a couple hours for the whole floor.

Fortifying Friday - Rejection

Yesterday, I received my first rejection from an agent. It stung. It wasn't that it was bad. It was worded in a way that it may have even been personally written. Regardless, rejection never feels good unless you were secretly hoping to stay home and do nothing when a friend made plans with you. Then it feels great! I might be an introvert ;) Anyway, it hurts a bit extra when you have other things going on. Between the worries of the state of the world and being unemployed, it felt much like being kicked while I was already down. The agent said she couldn't connect with my book though she really wanted to. She also said not to take her rejection as any kind of sign that I should give up. It was nice as far as rejections go. So, I lay there for a bit. Then I let my friends know via social media. Several said that I had hit a milestone and I should try to collect as many as possible this year. Rejections, they said, were a badge of honour awarded for putting myself out there. See...
