Friday Footsteps

Today is the first of June. I am beginning another month of writing. I love to start new months. I began last month on a good note and I will do the same this month. I have plenty to write about this morning so I got up early to get started. That is always a good thing.

Last night was a “blue moon” here in south central Texas. A blue moon is the second full moon in a month. They are not very rare, but they are rare enough. Hence the saying “once in a blue moon”. They occur on average once every 36 months. The blue moon in our region was in May. In some parts of the world the moon is not full until today so their blue moon will be in June. If you want to hear a good song about a blue moon listen to Nanci Griffith’s “Once In A Very Blue Moon”. It’s one of my all-time favorite songs.


Work will be hectic today. I have much to do. I am not in the mood to work a whole ton of hours on a Friday. I imagine I will just have to go in for a bit tomorrow. I have not done that in many months, but I might have to go tomorrow to catch up on a few things. I have some jobs due in the next few days. We might not meet all the deadlines, but we will see. I have to do my best to make some things happen. I will try to get them all done.

I have not started on the project yet, but this month is the ScriptFrenzy writing contest. You have one month to write a screenplay or stageplay. I am going to do it. It’s a daunting task with all the other things I plan to write about, but I am going to do it. I will probably start tonight after work. I have a great story in mind. It will be about my animals so it would be a cartoon-type movie. My present babies are going to be bringing the ashes of their dearly departed sisters, Annabelle and Dottie, back to Louisiana. They plan to make sure their ashes reside at our old place that those babies loved so much. It will be a cute, sometimes funny, heart-warming little story. I think I can do a good job of it. I have never written a screenplay before, but so what. I can do this. I am going to do it. I will do it well.

So, I better get to doing some of the stuff I am planning on doing for the day. I will try to write more later. I need to write plenty of different things over the weekend and do some stuff in the yard. I will be busy. I will write. I will garden. It’s just going to take a orderly process to do all I need and want to do. I may have to write it all down so I can stay on course during the whole time. That won’t be hard. It will just be something I’ll have to stay on top of. I will keep this journal and all my blogs informed of my progress. More later!!
