Tired, but worth it

I'm almost too tired to blog today, but here goes. LOL

I've been staying up super late every night trying to get the script ready for the actors. This is one of the hardest things I've ever tried to do. I have no formal training in writing a screenplay/script but I was asked to do so by those in charge. They said that I possesed the ability to bring the emotion to the script since it's my book and I'm close to it. It sounded good to me, so I started it. All I can say is no wonder screenwriters get paid thousands of dollars to do this. It's worth every penny. It's a duanting task and not one I've taken lightly. I look forward to bringing John, Emily and Mary to life on screen, but getting there is a job. I've had some who I used to work with at the hospital say "it must be nice to stay home every day and do nothing". To which I laugh and agree, what else can you do? I'm not going to convince them that what I do is hard. It's not manual labor, I'll give you that but it's mentally, and emotionally exhausing though. The pay is WAY better (lol) I'll admit that, but I still get tired just like I did when I went to Pikeville each day to work.

I've spent hours today typing and my eyes are tired. I'll go late into the night and all day tomorrow. I haven't left my bedrooom except to grab a pop and pee. LOL

Yeah, this is a job, but one that is paying off really well. I love doing what I'm doing now. I'm finally content. There's just one thing missing. I wish so badly that my mom was here to tell me that she is proud of me. I need that. But she's not and I have to find a sense of peace in myself. I had a "mom" figure at one point in my life that loved me, but that went to hell real quick/

Well, I'm rambling agan. I do it so well, LOL. You guys pray for me that I'll get this done quickly. I have a deadline which I'm not going to make. I have so many things to do this week and that's going to cut into my working time. Charleston again on Thursday for filmmaking class, last minute things on Friday to prepare for the book launch on Saturday. I hope you all come.

Remember to work hard and Dream Big!!

Much love,
