You guys you guys you guys

I have been trying to get a start on writing the script for Volume 1 of Worst Journey: With Pics In since about December, and been forestalled by one thing or another for six whole months.

But now ...

NOW ...

I am DOING IT. And it is GREAT.

And I doubt I'll be able to sleep tonight.

Mazel tov! Did you do something to jump-start the process?

Also, pace yourself or your mind will melt!

I got the more urgent everyday things out of the way, and then just sat down and started. These people have been bumping around in my brain for nearly ten years now, they were clamouring to get out.

I learned the hard way in my union job at Disney that I might reach the end of a responsible working day, but that doesn't mean my brain stops. If I don't make the most of the 'flow' while it's flowing I'll just lie there in bed thinking how responsible it would be to go to sleep, and how much it will help the next day's work, but be unable to do anything besides cross and recross my ankles and stare at the ceiling thinking about work.

So I'm going to see what I can make of this initial burst and catch up on sleep when I hit tough going. I've got notes up to Madeira and can probably plough through to that tonight.

Even if it's terrible, just pulling it out and putting it on the page gives me something to work with down the line. Just gotta keep pulling while there's something to pull ... and see how many silk flags are in this string. ;)
