Script Frenzy this year

So this is script frenzy 2009.
Sigh.
It pretty much knew this years script frenzy was going to be difficult, but I didn’t quite think it would be like this.
If you have been following my script frenzy page then you’ll know that I’ve only posted 8 pages so far and the description of the script has changed twice.
Both of the scripts that I’ve worked on this year, where in fact different from the ideas I talked about here.
The problem is that this month I’ve gone from an enforced 3 month break from work, back in to full time employment as well as having a bunch of other projects (both public and private) suddenly spring up on me. I think it’s the work thing which has really thrown me, however. It is surprising how lazy you can get with 3 months of just working 1 day a week or less. I’d got in to the habit of only really working in the morning. I’d do that days round of applications, toy at some bit of work on something and then just stop at lunch time. That was the day over for me, the rest of the time would be spent snoozing on the sofa, watching TV or videos and browsing the internet. Any work that I needed to do got done in tiny slices, maybe 10 minutes at a time. Nothing really got done quickly. I would think that there was always tomorrow to do it, and there was of course.
This sort of feeling had got pretty deep in to me by the time I started my new full time job. Suddenly I didn’t have tomorrow and the job started the same day script frenzy started. So I thought, oh I’ll start the script tomorrow. Tomorrow became Friday and that became the weekend.
I did make a start, but nothing really fitted with the script. I picked at it in little chunks. Then I changed my mind and restarted the thing, hoping that this new idea would fire my imagination. It didn’t.
All of this sounds a silly really when you consider that last year I lost my full time job of 7 years while writing my script and still got it finished! The difference there was that the script was going before all of the things started happening. The script had momentum, when all of the objects appeared in my way I was able to use that momentum to blast through them. This year the script started in thick treacle, it never really got started at all.
So as you’ve probably guessed at this point, I’ve given up. Right now I’m getting things back to normal in my life. The script is part of that life, but right now not a massively important part. It can wait till next year.
Yes, I know thats just the same as saying I’ll leave it till tomorrow, I’ll have time then, but that’s the way it is.
Okay I seem to have gone off track just a little, but normal service is being resumed (slowly).
