Worried

I tried to write today but it turned out pretty shitty. I've got a lot on my mind. The biggest thing that sucks about being across the country from your family is that you can't jaunt over to the hospital when somebody's sick so you just get to worry from afar and hover over the phone anticipating updates.

It makes it tough to concentrate on writing, but I haven't written in over a week so I sat down and forced myself to puke out two crappy pages of rotten dialogue. I noted in yellow under the scene "This dialogue sucks ass" so that I will remember to fix it later. I'm on the home stretch with the vomit draft and I really want to finish by the end of October a draft worth passing along to the people who have offered to read the script and give notes. Then I can go back to work and feel accomplished.

Right now life is making that very difficult. I also have some work to do on Game Night, which is pretty much finished except for a couple of things I need to take care of. I also found out I have to take this shitty class over again because I missed the test when nobody returned my phone call to answer my questions a few months ago.

But I don't feel like doing any of it. I just feel like sitting by the phone and worrying.

Still, that will not stop me from attending the CS screening of Zombieland. Come Hell or high water, I am seeing that movie tonight.
