Must. Finish. Script.
The last pages of my script are just grinding out like cement. I don't know if it's laptop death trama and the associated rebuild/migrate/etc., the distraction of the new Precious, being busy at work, all of the above, none of the above... In short, I'm not writing....

Final Draft 6 works out of the box under wine with the current version of Ubuntu. Including authorization. *weeps for joy* Oh, my darling Final Draft! I've missed you so much! *sob, hug, sob!* Oh, and speaking of Ubuntu? I'm now a True Believer [TM]. Recognized all my...
Complications Ensue
Um. Yeah. Laptop died. I kind of took the opportunity to go linux. Which means I had to import the script into Celtx, which I just don't love as much as Final Draft. I'll probably try to get Final Draft to work under wine as soon as I fix the video card, which is a...
Unsticking myself.
I've been stuck at 75 pages for awhile on Double Feature. Thematically, there are two minor characters who need more to do, and I might need to pad out the end a little with a bit more denouement, so hopefully that'll do the unsticking trick. I've been teaching myself...

That's how much script I wrote last night. I'm torn between, "Oh, that's pathetic!" and "Well, at least I wrote." The answer is to let it go and write tonight. Like any other extended effort (diet, exercise, etc.), you can't let a setback be an excuse to quit....
Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives. Is it worth being able to live forever if, in the end, we’ll lose the ones we love to mortality? Is Death really the ultimate enemy to life, or is death just life’s misunderstood old friend? To stop hate, do we need to restrict our freedoms? This book makes readers ask and answer tough questions not only about the characters and plotline, but about their own beliefs, understandings, and dreams.
