7 Quarters down - 4 to go.
It's Wednesday night and this quarter is a few days away from being OVER. I am ready for the break - 3 weeks off - from school. This quarter has been difficult for several reasons...but the level of difficulty is not the point. And I'm not sure what the point is - only that I kept on going even though I wasn't liking school very much the last 11 weeks. Is this burnout?
Feels like it.
I am taking 3 weeks off and will not look or think about school for that time. I hope this will give me a rest and freshen my eyes to "see" REQUIEM with a new POV. I'll need that to be able to tackle the production tasks ahead...not for the lazy, poorly organized or complacent.
Actually one thing I will do is to start talking to vets. I am also working on the REQUIEM story creating a pitch package to stand it up as an episodic.
A few words about the students I've encountered along the way. Some have been incredibly lazy. Many have been hard workers and great comrades in the process. And some are gone - quit, dropped out, whatever.
It's the story that keeps me engaged. It demands to be created. Like some beast that followed me home and now lives yowling in a dark room - waiting to be fed.
Let it starve for 3 weeks.
