With four days left, I’m feeling this need to write something epic.
What would you do with the last 1,200 words of the biggest creative project of your life? If this was my book, what would I want to leave my audience with? There are certainly many stories I could pull from my treasure chest of Darwin Award runner ups?
Or, I could just write about the day and that would be nice too because well, my family is fvcking epic.
Abby had an appointment this morning, and she asked if I could take her for lunch on the way back to school. I took her to a restaurant close to the school. It was really nice.
The girl’s mom found an apartment by their school and Quinn will soon have a new home. The cats might host a private party. I will miss her (as she munches annoyingly on the 50th thing she has pulled from the bathroom garbage today).
I’m too tired for epic. Worrying about finding just the right words at 9:30 PM is a recipe for disaster anyway. The main point of this project is to just write. As artists, we are all striving to blow it out of the park, but it’s something that has to find its way to you – not you to it. Hone your craft everyday. That’s the best that you can do. That’s the goal to strive for.
There’s always that hope that you might wake up to over a million views of your art, like Walk Off The Earth’s Goyte cover back in 2012.
This isn’t the epic that turned them into an overnight sensation, but it is that ‘e’ word.
Word to the wise. WOTE videos are bad for productivity.
