A New Day To Help Other Writers & Work On My Screenplay!

I didn't finish outlining my screenplay's prologue, but I got a lot of it done. I'll finish it today, for sure, then I'll start on Act One. I also wrote a character journal entry for Abu Faruqui. YAY! I've missed writing character journal entries. I hadn't done it in two or three days. That's a million years in my time. :P

I watched a Nature show last night. It was about skunks. I never knew they eat honeybees. There were a lot of things I never knew about skunks, but I knew that most states won't allow people to own skunks as pets because of the danger of rabies. They're number two in rank for getting rabies, just after racoons. I still want one, though. :) You can't look at the face of one and say they're not cute. You just can't! You can admit they stink, but they are adorable. :D

And then I saw a show about teen girls being sold into prostitution, which is right up my alley, considering the screenplay I'm working on, as well as my interest in Project Devi. This is one thing I feel very strongly about. Girls and women have rights, and it's disgusting for these men to be forcing them into prostitution and pornography. They do it to boys and men, too, just not to the same degree. It's wrong, pure and simple.

This morning, I've been working on feedback. And I've been e-mailing back and forth with Milli about things involving Fear of Writing. It's been good, but now I'm ready to catch up online and then work on my own writing. :)

I have to call tonight to find out if I have to go in for jury duty tomorrow. I sure hope I don't. I have three students who need me!

Anyway, I'd better get started. Have a good one!

Time To Get Serious

I got some work done on my screenplay outline yesterday. I plan on putting a lot of work into it today. I'm going to start my writing day with at least one character journal entry, though.

I spent most of the day just relaxing and reading stuff online. I also got caught up on my social networking sites.

I have a lot of thinking to do about my job as Course Presenter for Fear of Writing. I want to become certified, but I need to think about the why and how of it. I want to go to the next level, where I'd be making more money at it. One of the main reasons is because I want to sponsor a girl through Project Devi. I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time, but haven't because I haven't made that much money. Fear of Writing could enable me to do that, but I have to think of other compelling reasons why I would want to continue to move forward as a CP.

Speaking of, I have feedback to write, which I'll work on tomorrow morning. I was able to post the one I wrote yesterday after a couple of fixes, but it still wasn't 100% perfect. I plan on working harder to improve my feedbacks.

Yesterday afternoon, Jeff and I went to Arby's, then to Walmart to do our grocery shopping. We got back too late to watch a movie, but I got to watch about half an hour of Singh Is Kinng...the funniest part at the beginning when Happy Singh (the protagonist) tries to catch a chicken and, in the process, renders half the village homeless. Then there was another hilarious scene when Happy chased a purse snatcher only to discover that the purse was empty! :P Akshay Kumar played Happy Singh, and he was hilarious and hyper at times. He really made the movie.

Today, I'm doing laundry. Otherwise, I pretty much have the rest of the morning (after getting caught up online) and a good part of the afternoon to devote to my writing. What will you all be doing today?

Have a great day!
