The Universe Sending Me Signs

So yesterday, this happened.

I took this as a gigantic sign from the universe that my memoir is going to happen. I’ve been working on a visual project for my nonfiction workshop – the memoir in pictures/images. I took the project one step further and created a soundtrack. I was playing this song all day.

RHCP song Cabron

I told Chad that Cabron captures the spirit of the memoir. He sang a few seconds of it for me. Totally made my day. It’s such a nice feeling when someone whose work inspires you turns out to be a humble, grateful human.

It’s very gratifying seeing the memoir taking shape. I’m a bit ahead of my timeline so I’m going to play around and organize the memoir both chronologically and thematically and see what works best. I still have the last part to write but I have written some flashes (500-800 words nonfiction pieces) about the scenes that make up the last section.

I want to make another movie based on my massive love affair with LaLa Land (what the end of the memoir is about).

xoxo,

As of last night's writing, I have 80 pages or 20,000 words of my memoir written.

I am halfway through my Novel I class. I get workshopped on 3/30.

I signed up for Novel II on Thursdays starting in May and a private non fiction workshop on Tuesdays at the end of April. This reminds me of the time I took the directing, acting and improv classes all while Matt and I were looking for a house to buy.

My goal is to be done with the first draft by the end of August.
