Writing Time
So, as I have bitched and moaned so frequently in the past few weeks about how much work I'm doing and how little money I'm making, I finally decided to reduce my availability to Sony and increase it at Chili's.
I will now have off from Sony on Mondays and Thursdays, and will pick up an evening shift on Mondays at Chili's. This spares me two days of round-trip PATH and MTA fare into the city and about $25-30 in food costs (eating at the cafeteria isn't nearly as cheap as one might expect - especially if you happen to be a still-growing college male).
Even better though is the fact that now I can stay up late on Sunday nights to hold my late-night writing sessions again, as I won't have to get up early on Mondays. The same goes for Wednesday nights. This is going to be exceptionally helpful as my stress level has continued to rise the further I move into the summer without a semi-locked shooting script. As it stands, since I'll have to revise the structure of the entire screenplay, I can't make a preliminary budget or begin scouting for locations.
They say that "a rolling stone gathers no moss." Well, that's all good and well, but it's hard to keep that stone a-rollin' when it's more like a large, jagged boulder being pushed up a steep, unstable mountainside.
However, I'm certain the view from the top will be magnificent, and the large jagged boulder will resemble a work of stunning beauty by the time we reach the summit.
