25 days. In 25 days I will be 52 years old. Holy shit that messes with my head. My body may feel old but my mind sure doesn't.
Some time back I came across some videos on YouTube from a program The Hollywood Reporter created called “Creative Until You Die: 10 Hollywood Legends, 90 and Older, Who Refuse to Quit”. Unfortunately, we have lost a number of them since it was made. But it really inspired me. I want to remain creative until the day I die. Some days that is much harder said than done.
I have two very important short term goals. The first is to diligently continuing with my writing. I was working on a commission I have that I had unintentionally put on-hold back in October. Every time I thought I could get back to it something would happen and I would end up too stressed to be creative. It was so frustrating. I believe that broke yesterday. I finished the chapter from back in October and then wrote a nearly 3,000 word next chapter. I did that in just under 2 hours! I was performing better than the 1,000 words/hour writing standard I set for myself.
Another important short term goal is for me to get the next three approved chapters of A Horse and His Bunnies edited and uploaded. I wrote that short novel length story in 7 days back in May. It has been many months since Danaume approved chapters 11, 12, and 13. I owe it to her, myself, and the fans of the story to get off my ass and get that posted. After I post this journal entry, I am planning to work on editing and uploading Chapter 11. I just hope my plans are successful. If you don’t see it tonight or early tomorrow then something happened. Here’s hoping nothing stops me.
