I have to admit I hate the few days/weeks leading up to a holiday, or anything exciting. Mainly because, as hard as I try, my brain switches into holiday mode FAR too early, making concentrating on current projects and any type of work extremely difficult! I have no motivation, except to pack my suitcase. The problem with being only a few days away is that all the major things have been done. At least with a few weeks to go, you can still be organising and booking things to keep the excitement going but now – we have picked up all our documents, our money is converted (and at a great rate I might add! Thank you world economy!), everything is booked/paid for/deposits put down, our itinerary is all done, I have made my packing list (see Luggagitis) so except for a few small jobs we are all ready to go now I just have to sit….and work…and wait….
Now, so this blog isn’t completely about me complaining about waiting to go on a holiday – because I know you all have so much sympathy for that – I thought I would send you some links to some interesting blogs I am currently following that you may also want to have a look into:
Miss K Goes Forth – one of my best friends – she has just moved to London to make a career for herself in ‘the biz’ – so follow along with her epic adventures making it in the business!
Screen Writing 101 or Misadventures in WA Film – talented Perth Screen Writer Richard W Hyde – a fellow West Wing/Aaron Sorkin fan – check out his views on the industry from the Screen Writer point of view!
FLIP SIMMONS – Yes it’s in capitols – because his title is in capitols – but he has totally earned the capitols – awesome vocalist/performer – this blog is also his webpage – check out some of his tunes you won’t be sorry!
Ok, they are my plugs for this week! Now off to plan for the Andrews Sisters gig this weekend in Geraldton – if I get time next week I may pen a quick entry on how it went!
