Weekend Update Needs More Coffee
Jun. 4th, 2017 08:23 amAnother sleepy Sunday arrives and I'm up with the sun as usual. Sunday mornings I'm usually up around 6:30ish and head into the living room, check the internets, and watch some of the morning news. And of course start the first pot of coffee.
This weekend has been less frenetic than the previous weekend, as our only plan was to go see Wonder Woman at the Alamo Drafthouse in the Mission. And yes, it was indeed as excellent as everyone's making it out to be. I only had one or two writing-related issues with it -- a couple of clunky bits and two underused characters -- but other than that, we loved it. Would totally see it again and buy the DVD. ;)
Also: the Drafthouse is indeed an awesome place to go see a film. VERY comfy seats, really fun atmosphere, great sound and visibility, and good food that gets delivered straight to your seat during the film! [And if you're concerned: the seats are all high-backed and the food servers are well trained in crouching, so you don't actually end up missing much of the movie at all.] Extra points for having completely silly PSAs about safety, not talking during the movie, and so on.
This past week has been kind of an odd one in terms of productivity. I've been dealing with some kind of allergy that's left me with an occasionally sore throat (although I think that may have been by cereal going down the wrong way last week, but that's another story entirely). Allergies usually mean my sleeping habits get all wonky, leaving me exhausted during the day. I did what I could to get my work done, but there were a few days where I felt I didn't get as much done as I'd wanted to. It took enough energy for me just to get through the workday, so my word count was kind of low this past week.
I did try to turn it around, though, and I'm glad to say I did get a few thousands words across two different projects. Yes, you heard me correctly...even though Meet the Lidwells is still my main project at the moment, I've been playing around with what will most likely be my next project after that. It's sort of inspired by Studio Ghibli, a story about a teen growing up in a family-owned apartment complex that houses all kinds of beings -- monsters, angels, dragons, aliens, vampires, and so on. [Yes, it was inspired by a dream I had.] I posted a rough outtake on my Welcome to Bridgetown blog on Friday if you're interested in checking that out. Anyhoo, I'm feeling a bit better this weekend, so I'm hoping to be back on the high horse come tomorrow.
Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend!
