(Supposedly) No More Excuses

Well, when I last posted, I had just finished my screenwriting class and was trying to give myself the pep talk I needed to keep writing.

Yeah, uh, that didn't happen.

Good news, though! I've registered for the next screenwriting class AND - more importantly - I am now among the happily and intentionally unemployed. Yes, my wonderful wife is now bringing home more income than we were bringing home together just a few months ago. With her encouragement, I've left my soulsucking job and will be taking at least a few months off, possibly a year, maybe two. During that time I'll be playing Mr. Mom to some extent, but I'll still have the bulk of the day open to write! So, in theory, I won't have any decent excuses NOT to write. Besides, the class I'm taking has a much heavier workload than the first class.

I have a few weeks before class starts, so hopefully I'll be inspired enough to get a jump on things and write a bunch before then, but odds are I won't. Who knows, though? Once I get over the "vacation" mentality I have at the moment, I can focus on giving myself some daily structure to hopefully include a healthy block of writing time. I'm going to be optimistic and just say that that's what will happen!
