I have been thinking about starting this list for a while now. I am really good at starting things, and then getting caught up in something else. Hopefully this will help me follow through once I put it in writing. There are always the little things that I want to do, and don't make the time to do. This is my time.

ReplyDeleteTash,
ReplyDeleteI am a major slacker on Facebook and am just getting caught up on messages that have been sitting in my account for...months?
So, I just discovered your blog. Fantastico!! Love getting that window into your life. What sucks? Knowing all the things we have in common and not being able to do them with you, my far away friend.
Jeff and I are finally pregnant (15 weeks) and pretty psyched about it. Also, I'm under contract to finish and sell a script to a Hollywood studio. Done with the first draft. Need to edit and prepare pitch materials by Jan. 15, 2011 for my attorney to send to studios. Nervous and anxious about both little projects but very excited, too.
I love how you write when you've completed the things on your list. Good for you!
Miss you,
Kate Chalmers Heywood
