Christmas, writing & everything in between.

Well, it’s 3 days until Christmas Eve.  Which means it’s only 4 days left until the living room turns into a lovely, well decorated room, to something that a tornado struck.  From neatly wrapped gifts, to paper flying everywhere.

But that’s what I get with kids. LOL.

And I wouldn’t want it any other way.

This weekend, the kids will be with my parents before Christmas actually hits.  So this will give us the time to get last minute stocking stuffers and any booze we might need in case we have visitors pop by.

I like to have things on hand.  Though, I’m pretty sure it will be another quite Christmas.  But seeing as our plans to have Christmas out home has failed, I’m hoping to get out to visit the friends and family we have here in the city.

Another thing I’m going to try and do is actually make a New Years resolution.  And actually do it.  I usually tend on saying I’ll do something, then I get distracted with other things.  Not the best quality to have, trust me.  But that’s something I guess I have to work on. 🙂

Starting in January, I’m going to TRY and write every day on the script I’m trying to write.  I have 7 pages written so far.  But I’ve had 7 pages for a couple of weeks now.  I can’t seem to manage the time to get it done.  I want to have it done, sent to the producer and ready for filming in the summer.

I’ve tried not to tweet too much about it, only in DM will I give some detail.  I just hope that it’s liked by people who watch it.  I enjoy the acting aspect of doing fan films.  I’ve been in 2 already and loved every bit of it.  Though, at my age now, I don’t see me doing this as a career.  Although, acting is something I’ve always wanted to do.  But with a family now, I don’t see it being anything more.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE doing the fan films.  And the most recent is being Behind-the-Scenes gal for the Star Trek Reliant webseries, that in itself is a huge laugh.  Working with friends and like minded people is awesome.  I’m not comparing myself to the celebs who do this for a living.  Because, I’m not one.  On the contrary.  Because I’ve dabbed in the acting bit, and now the writing part, I can understand that much more the lives of those who actually do this for a living.  The writers, actors, everyone who’s involved in putting off a show, I pat them on the back.  I respect them that much more.

It’s hard work.  And I dare anyone to say otherwise.

So anyway, I think that’s enough for right now.

I have some things to get done before kids come home again.  It’s a short day.  Well, shor-ter day.  Brett gets out just after 12 and Denise will be done at 1:20.  I have packing to do for the kids.  Denise wants to do some baking before she leaves for the weekend.  And I’m hoping to get my jersey today. *cross fingers*.

I’ve always wanted one and now they are the perfect price, I can afford one. 🙂

Don’t worry, I’ll post a pic when I get it.

Until then, thx for popping by.

Love,

Writing, thinking and everything in between.

I know it’s been a while since I’ve written lately.  Truth is, I haven’t a clue what to write.  Yes, I’m writing a script.  So I guess I could be keeping you all updated as to how that’s going.  The problem is, I tend to tweet it all that I don’t think about writing it here first.  Problem 1 solved. LOL

Well as of right now I have 6 pages, and over 1000 words for the script.  I must say, it’s reading quite well.  Not bad for someone who has some form of dyslexia.  Yes, there’s many types of it, I just happen to have an output type.  Meaning that I know what I want to write from what’s in my brain, I just have a hard time getting it on paper.  Or in this case, on a word document, LOL

But with the support of my friends, both here and online, I’m getting there.

Besides the script,, I’m also trying to write my first novel.  Something I’ve always wanted to do – see my name in print.  Well I’m hoping that it will become a reality come April.  I have my storyline worked out and who I’ll get to publish it, it’s just staying focused to get it done.  I’m always getting distracted by something or another.  Oh look, shiny thing, lol.

Then there’s the committee stuff.  I’m getting so excited now.  There’s only 4 big things coming up for me before the convention; my birthday, Christmas, Brett’s birthday and the Cuba trip.  Yes, I’ll be posting some pictures here like I done for our Dominican trip.  I’m already getting my clothes ready for it.  Not packed.  Albeit, last year I had it done months in advance of going to Dominican.  But we’re thinking of having this Christmas out of town.

I want to give the kids the experience of having a bayman Christmas.  No one really comes here other then the inlaws, hubby’s brother and sister inlaw and niece, and my parents.  Other then that, we really don’t get anyone.  So we figured we take it out where my husband grew up and have Santa visit us out there.  At least that way, we won’t be rushing around on Christmas day to go out for dinner.  We tried that once, it was too much.

So we’ll try it for this year and see how it goes.  If it works out like I hope, then it can be a tradition we can keep doing.  If it’s too much of a hassle, then we’ll just get everyone to come to the house for a meal instead.  So we’ll see.

I think that’s everything updated so far for those interested in what I do.  I’ll try and write more as things happen.

Thanks for following along with me on this journey.

Love,

K
