New Short

I would say I have been very prolific this month. Unfortunately, I cannot nail my proliferation down to just one thing (a problem I've mused about before). I spent yesterday applying for jobs, with the window containing my screenplay minimized. I don't know if that was meant to tempt me into being creative, or remind me that I have responsibilities, but in any case, it did little to progress the now 25-page script. Oh well.

One thing I decided to do a while ago was submit a short story for the Fulton Prize. So today I picked out the story, started to edit, then scrapped it and started rewriting from scratch. Thus far this is going quite well, but again, that's not my job (in the sense that no one has sponsored me in my endeavor), and it's certainly not the screenplay I wanted to finish before I got back into the working world (though the way things are going with this job-hunt, there doesn't seem to be a rush on that really).

Anyway, no gripes. It's frustrating, sure, but man does it feel good to be writing at 4pm on a Thursday.
