weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

(+ plenty of dog adventures)

Printed out all 302 pages this morning — which nearly depleted my printer — and now about to start tackling the edit process. I’m kinda in love with Final Draft Pro — this is the first script I’ve written using it — in that it has made this entirely formatting challenge ...
Done. Well, sort of.  And at 3:30 am. 302 pages of a script that should be 100, maybe 120 pages max. And now, the editing begins. I cannot help but think of another Edward, specifically Mr. Scissorhands, cutting away at the ice to reveal the angel underneath. Like Michelangelo saying that “I sa...
Belle had a bit too much sea water yesterday, which meant that when we retired at 2am  (with a solid 88% of the scenes of the novel now screenplay written), she woke me at 4 am to go outside. Her method of doing this is to sit upright in bed and basically smile at me.  It’s a little unclear if she ne...
I can really on focus only what’s happening at DOWNTON ABBEY (and secondarily) in the world of my screenplay. I have another 30 minutes of the 1st season finale to watch and it’s a MIRACLE I can break away to do anything else. Why is this show so amazing?  [According to Wikipedia, it R...
Thursday was a total recovery day (from my empathetic perspective) from the Goddess Collective event. Susan and my beach walk involved incredibly intense weather and two extended dog encounters with a Vizsla named Tosca and a Labradoodle named Joey, both of whom would not leave Belle and her magical stick ...
Well — it’s not brilliant YET (my script, that is) but in days, mere days, it will be. Suddenly it was 2 am last night and I’d hit a solid 75% or more of the script at 172 pages and I just had to stop.  I calculate we’ve only another 30-40 pages to go before the massive condens...
Finished re-reading all the transcripts for the 17 hours of David Neagle calls (actually, there are two I only have audio for, so listened to 17 hours and read through 15.) Amazing and inspirational –– and like the missing piece (for me) between all the Law of Attraction stuff and The Real Worl...
Writing this while babysitting Jonah (age eight) after a stirring game of THERE’S A MOOSE IN MY HOUSE. I’d never played before but it was incredibly fun –– although slightly confusing at first –– and I’m very proud to say at the end, I had two fewer moose and trium...
Yesterday I read and posted a review on amazon for Christina Lewis Halpern’s LONELY AT THE TOP, a Kindle single (which means it’s an excellent short read for $1.99). Christina is a friend of mine and she’s the sister of LLS, my creative collaborator, muse, fellow crackpot adventurer, and ...
