Well, that didn’t work. So I’ll be trying something else entirely. I’m just going to write.
I thought that entering the contest would be an external motivation to get me started on screenwriting again. Unfortunately I took little and no action on this and the time went quickly past.
But I’m now working with my therapist on some other ideas that will help me to work past my own internal blocks that will help me get the words out.
You want a piece of me, boy?
So my friend Wyatt calls me out of the blue and says, “Hey I might have a Starcraft Beta Key for you…” It turns out Gamestop.com was doing a deal where if you pre-ordered the game they would give you a beta key with your pre-order! On top of that if you spent over $100 you could get 25% off your order.
The trick was, he didn’t know if he’d get two keys since he ordered two copies in one order. But when the email came, two keys arrived and all was well with the universe!
I’ve entered the Final Draft Big Break screenwriting contest. Now I just have to write something.
Not a good sign.
This weekend when my network key didn’t work, I did get a bit worried at first. But it’s all good, got the key fixed and I get to keep my job!
It’s one of the things that may take a lifetime to do. Because how you define yourself may change at different stages of life.
But for now I’ve defined myself by creating a list of categories or areas. These areas I use as buckets for the program Things. Here take a look:
Areas of My Life
So with these areas I use them as categories on this website. And then I use them as folders in my local documents. Basically it’s the way I define myself.
This post goes under “Personal Growth”. Why? Because I feel like defining the areas of work, interest, or responsibility in my life makes me a more organized and effective person. And I’m all about that!
One behalf of 9/9/09 I have decided to wipe the slate clean and begin anew.
Rather than splitting my mind and resources across multiple blogs I have decided to consolidate all the things that I want to talk about here into a one-stop shop of Tyler Bird goodness.
Topics?
I want to talk about all the areas of interest in my life. As the occur to me and I feel I have something to share, I will post. Some of the areas I’ve defined are:
Writing, Screenwriting and writing specific topics like Characters, Action or Plot, etc.
Personal Growth, areas of self-improvement and moments I’m proud of.
Family, stuff we do together and ways we celebrate our love.
That’s just a taste. So stay tuned for more.
