I'm announcing:
My International v. Multicultural essay needs to be submitted to the ESRI Academic Conference panel by Feb. 1st. That means I want to receive comments from my professor and rewrite it by Sunday 1/24. After that is complete, I need to formalize the powerpoint I will be presenting & a script. I don't wing anything. The sooner I get all this done, the better because the semester's homework will be beginning to snowball at the time of the conference (Feb 28-29th). Again I repeat, THE SOONER THE BETTER.
After the conference, I will revise my paper and (if the revisions are minor) submit it to academic journals to consider publishing. If the revisions are major, I will wait til the end of the semester and submit it.
I am going to ask my Hollywood screenwriter friends Steve and Adam if either of them would be willing to "treat" my Homeschool mockumentary screenplay (for $ or sexual favors) so I can submit that to whoever they suggest. Producers? Agents? Contests? I am too close to the story, and can't distance myself enough to write the synopsis. I CAN however for my FairyTale Fusion screenplay. I will treat it and submit the treatment to Disney by the end of the semester (?).
I don't know if it's that these goals are unrealistic, or if I am just not used to going beyond the bare minimum, but as I type them it my insides feel skeptical. Like this is just another way to make myself feel like a failure. Set a goal and then slam my face in it. But I'm hopeful. So I'll stop there and marinate and maybe add more to this timeline when I have the courage.

I saw a quote somewhere recently - was it a milk carton? A cereal box? A book? - that said (paraphrase): "If your goals are something you can possibly achieve in your lifetime, you're thinking too small."
ReplyDeleteNot sure how true I'd stick to that philosophy regarding writing, but I like it as a philosophy to change something in the world!
In the words of my favorite overused and outdated catchphrase- you go girl!
ReplyDeletemarinate on, girl. i think you will find a balance of what is do-able as you are further and further from procrasti... and i agree with mallie... it's better to be so alive that you do not have time for all your ideas than to be faced with plenty of time and a DEARTH of ideas. go tasha go!
ReplyDeletewow. how motivating! =) thanks ladies. mallie, that sounds like a starbucks cup quote if i ever heard one, huh?
ReplyDeleteHa ha, if only I'd been to Starbucks in the past few weeks, I'd blame it on a cup... but no. :)
