Burnt out, bitches

Yeah.  I think I am. 

Can't concentrate, can't stop thinking about all the things I have to do...Only 3 more weeks and I'm done class for this semester, and I only have to worry about kids, spouse and work. 

I am hanging on because I don't know what else to do!!

Free time isn't free, I suppose.

Eh. 

Did I mention my birthday is coming up?  That at least makes me happy.  Ish. 

Getting my writing boots back on.

So. 

I haven't written in a long time.  Not just blogging, but written any short stories, poetry, ANYTHING for a few years now. 

I used to write all the time, as a way to express myself - and somehow in the day-to-day trials of life it was just...left...back there...where "back there" is around 2006. 

So recently I have been asked by Steph (Ordinairy Girl) to collaborate on a screenplay!  I wasn't sure at first that my writing boots still fit - but after receiving the first character descriptions it just flowed. 

I forgot how great it felt.  I forgot what a release it is! 

The wifey thought it was a great idea too....I don't get a lot of time to myself, and now doing something that I really love has improved my outlook!  And really - it has only been about a week and a half.  Really. 

It doesn't take long to get me really excited about a project.  Maybe 3% of a second.  Yes, that long.  So when I was first asked I nearly hyperventilated I was so excited.  Have you ever hyperventilated?  Not pleasant.  But at the same time you feel so darn pleased that someone asked YOU to help THEM write a SCREENPLAY!

Okay, not you, me.  Heh. Or maybe you do and you now feel a strange sort of kinship with me...

How do you make an evil frowny face?  I think I am going to need that to put in my arsenal....
