Well, June is about to be over and I've got three whole posts to show for this month. Sad. lol Being gone for ten hours a day during the week apparently has that effect. Anyway, no more full-time job. Didn't like the job, and now I'm done, so wee! :D lol It still hasn't completely sunk in--I imagine that will happen Monday morning when I don't have to get up early--but it's starting to. Happy day!
And sadly, I don't really have anything else to post about. lol Most of my last couple of months has been work or laying on the couch watching TV after work. Got the 5th and 6th Harry Potter books re-read to prepare for the upcoming movie and the final book while at work, so that was good. That job was funny in that there was either hardly any work to do, or we were completely slammed with more requests than we could handle in a normal day's time frame. Anyway... the final bit is that I didn't completely Script Frenzy in the allotted time period. I'm not bothered by it. I may only have seven pages, but they're seven pretty darn good pages and I also have a lot of notes with plot break-throughs that God gave me during the last month and that of the month before leading up to the challenge. So, for me, not a failure. :)
Next month should bring more regular posting once again. Not that people come to read what I have to say on a regular basis, or at all, but I know there are a few of you that stop by sometimes. ;) lol Hope you all had a lovely June!

Well, if you're curious about my progress in the Script Frenzy challenge, you can check my word count on my profile here. :) At the moment, it's just a little shy of 2,000 words. May not be much compared to the total, but I'm happy with my progress thus far. Because, though my word count is not terribly high, I like what I've written and God has helped me with some plot breakthroughs for the story, so praise be to Him for that! :D Hopefully I'll hit 2,000 words tonight or tomorrow. At least what I did realize the other day was that the word goal is 20K, and when I attempted NaNoWriMo a couple years back, I wrote a little more than that in about two weeks, so I can totally do this! I just need to remind myself of that when the meanie critic inside me rears its ugly head at me. lol But yeah, I feel good about my progress thus far, and I'm hoping to write more than I have been thus far. I've only written on a total of three days (well, notes more than that, but on the actual script, only three).
The Stargate episodes this week were decidedly less depressing than last week's, so that was good. I guess there's only two more episodes for each show left to the seasons, and in the case of SG-1, to the show. The movies are supposed to air in the fall though, so I can't really be sad yet. ;)
During the week, I was asked to stay longer at the job than what I'd already agreed to (the end of this month). I said I'd think about it and consider it. I did, I'm not going to stay. I just don't like the job. Not entirely sure what I'll do after that, but that's okay, too. God will tell me if I behave myself and listen. I need to work on that, too. Anyway, it's about time for bed, which probably means I won't write anymore on my script tonight, but maybe I'll get some done tomorrow or something. G'night!

Last night's Stargate episodes were terribly sad. First, they made me think that Bra'tac was going to die, but he didn't, so it was okay. Then, on Atlantis it was all interesting and good up until the end when they killed off Carson! I cried. I mean, not majorly, but a few tears went down my cheeks for the character. Sometimes writers are mean. *pouts*
Yesterday was also the beginning of Script Frenzy. I wrote just over one page. I meant to write some today as well, but I ended up not feeling all that great and decided against it. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. I'm trying to tell myself it doesn't need to be perfect (and can't be, really) on the first draft, but it's hard for me to let go and just write what's in my head right now down and fix it up later. *sigh*
Well, short post as I still feel a little icky and now feel very tired. lol G'night!
