I think the title says it all. This is the end of my first BEDA experience. And while I didn't do it EVERY day (hey, I only missed three) I am going to miss talking so much about nothing. Don't worry, I'm not going to give up blogging for a long period of time like I did before. I'm just going back to my once-a-week schedule, so you'll probably hear from me on the weekend.
I did get some things accomplished today. I wrote two rp posts, which I'm about to put up after I finish this. And I've been reviewing my notes on Ghosts of Autumn over the past couple of days. I'm very close to finishing the first draft, you see. I've just hit a bit of a snag with fillers. Fillers have always been my problem, and when I do NaNoWriMo (and Screnzy) I usually omit them and just write all the good stuff. I think that's what I may do to get through to the end, and then worry about it in revision - as if it's not going to be a tough enough time for me!
I wasn't able to write a book review today, although I planned on it. The book I'm reviewing first happens to be buried in my parents' room because my mom's rereading it, so I'll have to get it from her later.
Must go cook dinner and stuff. See ya'll over the weekend.

Progress Has Been Made
No, I'm not caught up on anything yet, but as the title of this post implies, I have made progress. As promised last night, here is the premise for a sitcom I came up with.
Rob Cole, a divorced father of three, and Laurie Cole, his new wife who has two children from her own previous marriage, learn that they are expecting triplets. Since Laurie plans to take time off work for the babies' first year, the Coles are in desperate need of money and agree to do a reality tv series. The series starts with the birth of the triplets and each season chronicles a year in their lives.
If you've watched The Office or Modern Family, you may already know how I'll be writing this. Part of the show will be the family interacting and dealing with life in front of the cameras, but the other part will be them talking to the camera, like they do in shows like Jon and Kate Plus 8 or 19 Kids and Counting.
I already started writing last night and so far so good. Now, I must get sleep.

Making It Up To Everyone
Well, since I missed a grand total of three posts in April, I figured I'd make it up to you by continuing to blog for the first three days of May.
No more Screnzy updates, sadly. I really miss my script. I think I'll go back to it sometime next week, but I've got a lot of things going right now. I need to get on a routine with things. I've been talking about this since the new year, but I still need to work on it. I need to find a good schedule to do all the things I need to do, like my household chores, roleplaying, writing, and having some downtime. Do you know I haven't written a single book review all year? I've started to, but I haven't finished.
I'm falling behind on everything, I don't like it. I get stressed when I'm behind. And, as proven over the past week, when I'm stressed I have trouble falling asleep. And when I'm exhausted like I am right now, I don't want to do anything. It's a terrible cycle.
So, that's it. Tomorrow, despite having to work, I will do the following:
Write at least 2 roleplay posts
Write a blog post
Review my notes for Ghosts of Autumn
Attempt to finish a book review.
I own a laptop. There should be no excuses for my procrastination. I am going to work my behind off until I complete my list, and I'll continue like this until I'm caught up. Or, in the case of Ghosts of Autumn, until the novel is finished.
Tomorrow, I'll tell you all about the creative high I was on last night and today. For now, goodnight.
