Social Life Kills the Momentum
Way behind in my word count these past two days because of actual happenings.
Yesterday I had a supper meeting with one of my clients to show the progress work that I had done so far, and got a half job payment. She hasn't given me the content to fill in, but hopefully she can dig that up soon and then I can proceed with the job. So far she's my favourite client. Easy to please and gets excited easily with everything I show her.
Then after that went for a walk with two friends from school. We go on coffee walks quite a few times each month. Usually around my neighbourhood, and since I know this place like the back of my hand, usually time it for how long we want to dedicate to the walk. We also talk about design things, things on the net, movies, life, past goings-on and just nothing in general. I like those walks. That's my usual social life lately and it's not all bad.
Today I was completely dead and could not wake up for some reason. Then in the evening, even more friends from school and I went to go see Men Who Stare At Goats. I had a fun time at that movie. I had heard some bad reviews, but it was quite funny. What do critics expect from that? Oscar material? I don't think so.
After that we went to Tim Horton's as we normally do, and just sat and talked. Oh, the conversations that we get going are sometimes an absolute riot. It's the one thing I miss from school is the social aspect of the friends always being there. The only thing that could remedy that would be to open a studio and have everyone there. I think that would be the best place to work.
Also, today being Remembrance Day, I wore grandpa's WWII jacket in honour of him and so many others. I used to wear his coat every day in HS, for the "It's cold but not enough for the winter coat and there's no snow" days. A poppy is perminantely pined to the lapel with one of those little Canadian flag pins. Those things practically guarantee that your poppy doesn't fall out and also adds a nice touch to it.
So because of all of this being out and about, I'm two days behind in my word count. Here's hoping I can still do a chunk before I end up crashing tonight. Also, tomorrow, I'm going to be writing a major important scene with lots of descriptions, so that should help the numbers go up with no problem.
