When I watch my TV shows and movies and stuff, it's not without a purpose. It's all about research for my writing skills. I learn a ton about setting up scenes, developing character and story lines in my novels and short stories that are in the works.
I absolutely enjoy this aspect of research because it doesn't matter the genre of the show I'm watching. It all is about helping to improve my writing abilities.
There will come a time in the next month or so when I will have to knuckle down and get that 2nd draft of "Y2K" written out, TV or not!

The poetry is starting to flow very smoothly. I'm working on getting my stuff down, my collections that is, of which there are at least 3 by now. This flow is a direct result of my poetry workshops on Wednesdays, and at any time the muse hits. Then I pick up my scratch pad or workbook and scribble down my latest thoughts.
By the end of the year I hope to have a more definite idea of what I'm working with and how to proceed forward.
There's an awful lot going on in my head right now. This week I will get more on the ball with the next step in my 2nd draft of Y2K.

Looking to put in some serious time and effort this week in getting the Y2K 2nd draft off and running.
The month of January has been very slow and lethargic. I will impose some serious strategic changes in my life-style to help out: Make up the futon into a sofa; Use the dining room table as a new writing spot.
These moves will take me away from the comforts of laying down when the mood hits me, no matter what I'm in the middle of doing. This may not even be the problem behind the lethargy I've felt on many a day. It could be the heat, because it has been cold outside.
Whatever the case, instead of getting things done this month, I felt that I spent far too much time relaxing.
