Pity Party, Screenplay work, and Big Dogs

So, I'm over my pity party. If you read through this entire page of blogs many clear points come through. In the past month I have written about my belief in God, my belief in redemption and my own account of BIG mistakes I have made in my life.

Dan Stephen is no different.

I believe that our Universe will work it's magic and Dan will have to face his mistakes one way or another. I wish it would work faster. I really want this part of our lives to be over with. But I can wait. Maybe this is my lesson in patience and my lesson in giving up control. Having faith. Man, there are tons of lessons here if I quit whining long enough to see them. So for now I will let go and trust that things will work out.

As for my writing, I am done with the SP. The last critique was great! Very positive with lots of ideas on how to improve it. I spent some time rewriting again. Came up with a few new scenes to add, some more conflict and now I'm done. I need to move on to something new. I am posting it this afternoon on a website called inktip.com. It's a place for managers, producers, and agents to look for the type of movies they are looking for. It has a pretty good record for getting things sold. I will also give it to my uncle and let him give it to some friends. We will see...

Just one more update. My dog had surgery yesterday. He is an 8 month old Bernese Mountain Dog and he had shoulder trouble. Apparently it's fairly common in dogs this big. But the surgery was hard on him. He looks like he was hit by a truck!! He has six weeks of recovery which includes only leash walks, no free roaming in the yard. This is going to be really hard on him. He's totally an outside dog!

He had his entire leg, shoulder to toes, shaved. There are incisions on his shoulder that need to stay clean and dry. He is wearing one of those big dog, circus hats to keep him from licking, and he is completely disoriented with that thing on. He bangs into everything around while he is limping along. It's really a sad sight! I hope he heals quickly! There I go again. I seriously need to buy some patience. Maybe that's what this summer is suppose to be about. Slowing down, and just letting things happen. Sounds like a pretty good summer to me.
