Successful weekend.
"Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it." --Margaret Thatcher
And that pretty much describes my past three days. ^_^
Seriously, as much as long weekends have a well-earned reputation for laziness, I got a ton done. I've written a lot every night; the new book's going quite well and I'm really pleased with it. Clearly, not forcing myself to write really fast was a good idea. @_@ I might have hit the halfway mark tonight, it's really hard to tell - in my planning document, the first page of the plot takes up about 10 pages in the book, while the fourth page makes up at least twenty. So there's no way to know.
I also did a bunch of Responsible Adult Stuff like running a bunch of boring errands and cleaning my apartment and all that, but nobody really needs to hear about that. :P
What y'all might want to hear is this: I've started a new video project. Had the idea yesterday, knew it would be awesome if I could pull it off. Granted, I had to figure out how to get Premiere to work with 1920x1080 resolution, as I've never done that before, but I made it work. It's going really, really well so far, like maniacal laughter-inducing well. The thing is, though, this is going to be different from anything else I've ever done. Because this isn't going to be just another fun thing. Oh no, not by a long shot.
It's going to be part of a job application.
