Moving Day Part 3

Decided to keep my blog here for the time being. Yes, I know, I'm fickle. Hopefully the post-production work on Plans will be done soon and I can get around to whoring it shamelessly around Chicago. As for the moment, I'm finally working again on my next story.

You may or may not know about my little cat Bucky, who passed away at the end of August. He was the world's worst editor but the world's best writing buddy. Since he's been gone, I've had trouble getting myself back into the swing of writing. I had half a synopsis and no motivation to finish it or start the story itself.

Today I got an email from Tim Locke of Calhoun fame answering my 1001 questions about the music business. Yesterday I got an email from Lynn with sketches of my new MFC and MMC. Add in a song from Ted Leo on iTunes and all of a sudden I'm rarin' to go again.

Shifting between writing the last third of the synopsis and emailing an old friend who is in a band about the music aspect of it. Have to remember to ask my shrink about inpatient facilities at Rush and St. Elizabeth. I wonder if he'd be willing to let me go on some sort of a tour. If nothing else, it would serve as a reminder of why I need to take my medication without fail and on time.
