No, I'm not procrastinating, why do you ask?

There's a couple parts of every script that are hard for me to write, and one of those parts is the very first part.  I have a tough time with opening scenes, and that's what I'm working on right now.

Well, was working on, until I decided that I really needed to post.  About what?  No clue.  So here's a random list of things that are randomly popping into my mind as I type.

• I really need to stop answering "Thank you" with "Sure thing!"
• Hot tea is the right temperature for about eighty seconds.
• It does no good to write out lists of upcoming due dates, goals, plans, etc. if I promptly lose said lists.
• I really want to finish watching Caprica (I got bummed out when it was canceled and took a break), but I have, like, eleventy other shows I'm watching right now.
• Exactly 100 word drabbles are the dickens to write.

[stares mournfully into mug of lukewarm tea] RIGHT?

I tend to make lists, then set them aside with my mind at rest, as though having put the item on a list is enough and actually getting around to doing it isn't necessary. I store most of my lists as gmail drafts, so I don't generally lose them, but that doesn't help any if I willfully ignore them. ;)

100 word drabbles are difficult! They are like poetry in that every word has to be the right one. I hate when you get to 101 or 104 and have to cut, cause you've planned out every word already. Sometimes I resort to using contractions to reduce word count, or going with independent clauses to lose an 'and'. (I got that from Nano, where you reverse the process to up word count!)

I love lists. On paper. With ticky boxes. I have three right now at work. One with lists and notes on the day's tasks, one with the week's tasks, one with long term projects.
Also made one today for the weekend, for my next B5 things-to-do, and one for bill paying.

It's sad, isn't it? But now I have to take my today list and go do something on it :)

- "Sure thing" is the best response in the world and I say it all the time and YOU SHOULD BE PROUD.
- Omg I need like some sort of mug warming thing that keeps my tea at the right temperature for longer.
- I make lists in text files on my desktop. IT HELPS.
- [no opinion]
- I hate writing drabbles, they are freaking impossible

I sometimes like lists but only if I KNOW I'm going to do what's on it so I can cross things off. Lol.

And I may have two drabbles... One of which I'll try to make exactly 100 and one that's about 4 times that. Lol!

The ending of Caprica was definitely interesting and I enjoyed having watched the show. The plot continuity with BSG is bothersome, but there's some really interesting stuff in the show. I hope you like it when you get around to finishing it!
