OK, now what?

So, I've done the rewrites on my spec script and sent it off to a friend who knows a lot more about screenwriting than me. She'll look it over and give me her feedback when she gets a chance--she's rather busy at the moment.

At this point I need input on it. I've read and reread it until I'm not actually seeing anything when I read it, except what I expect to see. I need somebody else to look it over with some detachment.

So, until I get her feedback, what do I do? I can't really make up my mind. I really need to be working on something or I'll go out of my mind.

I think my Mythophobia song cycle needs one or two more songs, and there's another song cycle I want to start after that--more on that later. Maybe I'll work on that now. Also have an idea for a story or short film--maybe that's next. All that still needs some development, though.

Now that I've actually written it down I think I'll work on the music for a while, get a few new tunes out. I've done a couple of tunes I'm extremely happy with lately--"Inside" and "Take My Breath"--and those took a lot out of me. I'm not kidding--I was exhausted after those. "Inside" is my "biggest" tune since "Necrotopia"--I don't think I've ever had that many tracks before. "Take My Breath" is just an intensely personal song for me, and that made recording it draining. But, as I said, I'm happy with both songs, and maybe now that it's been a little while I have built up the reserves necessary for me to do some more music. Click one of the links above if you want to hear those tunes, along with several others.

So, stay tuned! Let's see where I go next.

Friday morning

For some reason I woke up in a really bad mood. I'm not sure why. Hopefully my mood will improve as the day goes by. It is Friday, after all, for cryin' out loud.

I have a major life decision to make, in the next few years. I know, *years*, so it sounds like there's forever before I have to decide. Problem is, I can't get a more specific time frame--it may only be *one* year, it may be *three*. I can't at this point go into more details, but it involves my job.

Hell, a lot can happen. By that time I may be a successful screenwriter and recording artist and won't be working there anyway. Who knows? Still, though, it weighs heavily on my mind. I try to embrace change, but it's hard, sometimes.

In a much shorter time-frame, I'm going to start writing this spec script this weekend. Dammit. I am excited about it--it's going to be really good. I just need to keep the mission statement in mind as I'm typing away.

So, pardon my mood--I'm sure by this afternoon I'll be chippy again. How are things with you? Any weekend plans?
