~Gonna be the day that I will do something right~

Concerning last post?
Well, two things. One, I was REALLY zoned out when I wrote it. I've been living off a caffiene high for three days, and I just came out of it. So for the first time in days, I'm actually with the program. No more caffiene for Chasey. *nod nod*
Second, the song. I really get why it speaks now. And it's not because I think I'm useless... it's because I will occasionally begin to doubt things. Like my capabilities and potential.
Then, like the song goes on to say, "I'm a little more than useless"
The song ends on such a hopeful note that I can't help but feel inspired. Like... maybe I have wasted days of my life, when I could have really worked toward the things I want to do. But I really want to do something now. I really want to start working toward something. As Syd Field said, you have to know your destination before you can make your way there.
And the exposure stuff I mentioned? Well... there's this contest for highschool playwrites. You submit a one act play that can't run for more than 30 minutes. Four plays get chosen to be -get this- PROFESSIONALLY PERFORMED. Three finalists get 200$, the grand prize winner, 400$.
Now personally, I've never been that into money or anything. But just the pulblicity. PROFESSIONALS! Directors, set designers, lighting people, sound booths, actors, producers, the whole kit and kaboodle.
And I might actually feel accomplished if I even got into that. At school currently? Half the people don't even want thier play READ, which increases my chances of getting chosen to about 1/2 or more. ;_; And I just can't feel proud of that.

My goals for later this year/the summer? To work on my orignal fiction. I actually am thinking about posting some of my current projects on Ficwad, just to get an idea of what works and not.

So I have plans. And I really want to get somewhere with this. I don't want this to be one of those resolutions that fade with my enthusiasm- and I have had some of those-. I want this to be the thing, if the only thing, that I really live up to.
