Tonight I successfully navigated my way to the end of Round One in the 10-9 edits. Finishing them wasn’t as nearly as difficult as I thought once I had nailed in my mind I was going to take on other issues in another pass. And now I can focus exclusively on those details which need major issues of reworking and less hand-wavery. The details now involve tightening up the action scenes and making them have a bit of a kick. I’ve already caught myself thinking ‘What would happen if this happened instead with the same outcome?’ which would involve a lot of reworking. I’ve already decided that if the outcome of the action scenes are the same then it’s worth exploring some alternate courses of action and picking the most Hollywood Blockbuster worthy. My Moleskine’s been a little lonely without furious scrawling of scenes chicken scratched into their pages. I should definitely get back to that.
My little happy thought of the day is an obnoxious baby pink bookmark I picked up at Barnes and Noble that reads ‘Keep Calm And Have A Cupcake’ I seriously can’t argue with that kind of logic and I will say cupcakes are my tip top tasty thing even if I don’t eat them all that often. How can anyone really refuse a cupcake? So cute, dainty, and happy with their little buttercream swirl. I find myself wanting to scream that at John and Ahimsa when things get hairy between them. XD There’s a doodle idea for the pile right there.
Today was sort of a continuance of our sendoff to Toby. Mom and I had to go out of town for a doctor’s appointment which included eating many horrible and tasty sweet and salty delights. Needless to say today was a BAD BAD day for Weight Watchers but I decided to only let it be today and then it’s back on the wagon. All of the goodies we brought home are going with Mom to work tomorrow to dump on everyone else and not in my gut. Besides during our accompanying retail therapy I had learned I had apparently dropped three pants sizes recently and had no idea. Way to go~ And way to go five new pairs of jeans wandering home with me~
Now I’ve got another memoir to devour in a day waiting to be cracked open, One Bullet Away by Nathaniel Fick. It’s only been sitting on my shelf for months. But that’s my plan. If I can read it in a day or less than a week I’m good to go. :3
