I entered into a novel writing contest. Well, it’s more of a finish your novel contest. You have to write a 50,000 word novel in a month. I’m excited and going to give it a shot.

Writing a novel in a month will be a great challenge. I’m always up for a challenge.

If anyone else wants to try, here is the webpage.

I had posted before how I am working as an Assistant Editor for a TV series. It’s going great, but I realize I need to focus more energy on learning more about the craft and techniques.

I need to apply more of my energy to figuring out a scene and cutting it together. I was able to cut a scene for my Editor the other day and it was a blast.

Think Positive and Enjoy It!

I used to work as a cook at a gourmet restaurant and it was a lot of fun. The heat, the pressure, and the feeling of satisfaction when people enjoy a meal you prepared. I really want to do more of this at home. I want to show my wife the things I can do and give her a beautifully cooked meal I know she deserves.

The Problem…
Finding the time. I usually don’t get home until 8p or 9p. It’s just to hard to start prepping a meal that late. That means we won’t eat until after 10p, which is not very healthy.

The Solution…
Prep your food on Sunday. Go to the grocery store and buy the ingredients needed. Chop up your carrots, julienne your onions, have your meat ready. The meat will be placed in the freezer. I suggest taking it out before you head to work, giving it all day to thaw. Since you have everything prepped for the week you’ll be ready to cook. The cook time is the least you’ll spend. Now we can eat a great dinner together with a glass of wine before 10p.

Sounds easy and I hope I keep to it.
