Getting into a routine

Finals ended quickly, then a long weekend out of town for  family event...and since then, it's been tough getting into a routine of screenwriting. I'm enjoying all of my friends I'm getting to know on Facebook (200+) and I have some great screenwriting Twitter feeds to follow. However, while the social and professional network is fabulous, it can be a huge time suck.

Time is a non-renewable resource. Especially these summer hours have to be used cautiously. Lots to accomplish and I have every day free from a traditional job, free from taking and teaching classes and the little one is enrolled in summer programs for all day fun and challenging learning. No excuses for me.

Aside from the screenplay, I have a couple of grad school projects that need to be worked on throughout the summer so that I can graduate this year. It's enough to keep every day full, exciting, intellectually stimulating and frustrating. I'm off to a great start, but need to keep in mind the goals of the next few months.
