Pluses and Minuses (In Reverse)

August 26, 2007 by Dave.

Damnit, this really sucks! I still have a few places in my room to check, but I lost something of mine. It’s a medicine bag that a friend of mine gave me a few years ago in Ft. Worth, TX. I knew Darla from the FUUSE community and talked a lot back and forth. We finally met at GA in 2005. She was as fast a friend in person as she was online. Anyway we were talking and somehow the conversations turned to medicine bags. Now a friend of mine gave me one that was a necklace that he bought in Canada. It was a bit touritsty but I wore it nearly religiously. So much so that from sweat and wear, a small hole bore its way into the back of the leather. I talked to Darla about that, and just like that she pulled a grayish leather medicine bag out of her pocketbook. I actually thought she was trying to show me her bag but she gave it to me right there! I put it in my pocket and it’s been there ever since. Until a couple of weeks ago when I was changing stuff from one pair of pants to another and it was gone. I’m still not sure if it’s still in the house or completely gone, but I’d like to find it soon. I really love that bag.

On the plus side of things, one script revision is knocked out. I started with the easiest one: the script that only needed the last act revised. I like the way that act goes and I’ve tightened some of the language up to lower the page count. So that’s been sent to my writing lab mentor to check out. Also I’m all paid up for my 20th high school reunion and the IFP film conference. I’ve been planning to go to that conference all year and need to get things up and running for that. Networking in earnest and really trying to make contacts to get my scripts out again.
