Here's a gorgeous picture taken by one of my talented offspring. It's called Bubbles, Floating Dreamily Beside a River That Some People Mistakenly Refer To as A Lake Because It's Very Wide At This Point.

Okay. I'm going to use this to keep track of my progress with all my projects. With the hopeful assumption that I will have progress to keep track of. And I sort of know you're not supposed to end a sentence with something like 'to keep track of' but I don't really know that rule, so I don't know how to fix that sentence. And more importantly, I don't want any suggestions.
Progress I hope to have in order to keep track of it. That just sounds like I don't know what I'm doing. So maybe that's better, since I don't want to be dishonest in representing my abilities about crazy grammar rules.
Anyway, (ANYWAY) I want to get some work done and I want to blog about it. I don't actually WANT to blog about it, but I need some way to make myself do work. And having the semi-fun task of reporting on it every day or week is probably going to help.
Ahhh... and I can also share my excellent pieces of advice. I can share my golden nuggets of wisdom. I had a nap this evening. And I woke up with this piece of advice. It sounded much better before I said it out loud in order to avoid forgetting it. Somebody told me this in a dream. I forget the exact words of the first part, but the part in quotes is word for word, I think. I was given writing advice IN A DREAM. This is a big deal. Okay, now this is what she said. Because I don't remember much of the dream, except that somebody told me this, and then I woke up.
You can write whatever you want "as long as it's wrapped in a comfortable layer of you."
Isn't that wise? Isn't that profound?
Just nod and smile politely. I know it sounds funny. But it made so much sense when I was half asleep.
And there was another part, involving not leaving out the layer so I wouldn't have to go back and fix things as much. It really made a lot of sense.I was impressed for a few minutes. I got the MEANING of the whole idea, even though it sounds funny when I try to use words to explain it. And I also had the half-asleep inspiration to make myself a beaded bracelet that had the name of my screenwriting program on it. Yes, this all sounded great when I was half-asleep. I'm going to bead a bracelet that says Celtx. If I actually do this, the point is to make myself be a fan of Celtx, instead of being afraid of it. It's all very deep and important.
All I need now is to magically get the Celtx screenwriting program to somehow format my rough draft all by itself.
