I had a strange day at work. The architect basically blew me off in a big meeting where I felt certain things needed to be talked about. I wouldn't say it pissed me off exactly, but it annoyed me and disappointed me. This was a guy I looked up to.
Anyway, when I got home, I had some dinner, and because I was up late last night working, I just burned out and fell asleep. An hour later, I woke up inspired, and the code just began flowing. It hasn't done that in awhile. We're more than half the way through January, and I can tell you that I'm not going to hit my target on my site rewrites.
But it almost doesn't matter, because I'm doing some stuff right now that fascinates me. I'm raising my game. I also have some pretty radical ideas that I'm going to pitch to some important people. I feel like I can be proud of the work I'm doing.
And while all of this almost-great stuff is materializing, I feel like I'm finally getting closer to the film stuff I want to do. The short screenplay is there in my head, and I just need to bang out 20 pages. I have actors in mind, and I probably can spend less than a grand to make it happen (most of that is a few equipment items I keep).
So as I wrap up my shit tonight, I feel good about what I'm doing with stuff. I feel a lot more optimistic than I have in a long time, and it feels pretty damn good.
