Happy Friday!Last week I talked about “moving with the light” of inspiration and working on whatever was fun or interesting in the moment, even if it was just for a few minutes at a time. I can report back that it was an effective strategy for battling through a tough week.I was feeling like a lot of the projects that are out there in the world were stuck in a logjam or coming back as soft passes. Rather than get mired down in the business side of things I focused on the work and what I could control. After I finished working on notes for my contractual obligation I juggled a crime fiction novel, a supernatural thriller short story, and an audio comedy, moving with the light of my interest and inspiration. Before last week I probably would have beaten myself up about being all over the place. This week I didn’t even give it a second thought. I never got bored or blocked and made solid progress on all three new pieces. Once I reached critical mass on the audio comedy I wanted to keep going until I actually finished it. (To be fair, I had a head start on that one because I was adapting from a feature spec) Now that script is out the door to my podcast agent, freeing up space for the short story and the novel. By mid-week the logjam started to break, with new material going out into the world and new meetings being set. I feel recharged and hopeful. I hope you have a great weekend and that you either make some headway on your own new stuff or you get to enjoy some downtime and have a life!
