i did it.
so, i didn’t end up writing TWO scripts for this competition. but I did complete one, just by the skin of my teeth. and from where i sit now, on my couch, inhaling a pint of haagen-dazs while watching Oprah discuss my second favorite book of all time, Middlesex, i’m pretty proud of it. The script. Not the slothful behavior and lack of a balanced meal. This is the first thing I’ve eaten since approximately 10:30 last night, and before that the week was spent only grazing.
So, this week has put me through the gauntlet physically, mentally and emotionally. Before I crash (I’m operating on no sleep in nearly 36 hours), I have to say that starting this week, I’m gonna take better care of my body. Unless I make some changes, my body’s not going to let me put it through this kind of trial as I age. Right now, however, I am in a wonderful mood. Perhaps it’s the onset of delirium.
But I’m so glad and grateful and proud that I’ve managed to somehow juggle 60-hour work weeks, plus freelance work on the side and participating in a semi-active social life with the consumption of mass quantities of Scrubs, and the planning, writing and rewriting of this script. And I’m thankful for all the people who’ve been supportive of this pursuit.
After a couple weeks off, I’m starting a Big Bang Theory script. But between now and then, I’ve tacked on a couple days to a long weekend and will be getting my life back together on those days.
But first, sleep. Lots and lots of sleep.
