Sunday. Sitting out in the garden by the pool again. Currently watching the tourists as they come and go. Fun crowd to watch. I prefer to observe from a safe distance, myself.
Spent more time sitting with the pamphlet. Annoyed at myself because I left all of my notes on story structure back in the States. All of them. Ugh. I just wasn’t thinking straight when I packed. I should have taken the time to digitize them all before I left. They too, are handwritten, like most things. Alas.
I guess I could call my brother and have him take pics for me. I’m sure he will be thrilled to take photographs of my notes on romance writing and send them to me directly in a calm, professional manner like it’s not weird at all. Fun, lol.
Thinking I might just stay in Thailand and write for a bit. It’s very affordable to live here. I could just post up here for 90 days and see what I get done. So much material, so little time. Seems like I could get quite a bit done in that timeframe considering the fact that I have had it all boiling in the pot since 2019. It’s time for a new collection of stories to come forth. No more Andrew, Bloody Mary’s, or South Dakota. We’ve got some new material to mine through now.
So far… what do I have sitting in the pot:
-“Professional Travel Influencer” blog – I admit I’m not very good at this. I need an editor or a business professional or someone. It’s hard to be a creative entrepreneur.
-Our hilarious Bollywood-Gone-Wrong that is my real life story about a guy I met at the yoga shala in India. Haha, so funny, he left me so now I’m gonna turn him into a screenplay. Yay! Romcom city!
-Somehow, Hong Kong still feels like a James Bond movie. I think I should just re-write it from the woman’s POV. Could be fun!
-Whatever this new Dubai-inspired pamphlet is. This feels like it could make me some money, so I will continue to sit with it and let some of these ideas start to form. Feels like a romcom, for certain.
Okay, so that’s 3 screenplays in 90 days. Technically less, because I’ve already been here a few. This feels achievable so long as I don’t have any distractions. Safe to say I won’t be having much of a problem with that so long as I stay on schedule and don’t fraternize with the other tourists. Maybe I’ll find a little hut on a beach somewhere instead.
Alright, I’m heading out of this spot. The scene is unfolding before me in a bizarre manner. There’s a couple making out in the corner of the pool while two Instagram models are doing a photoshoot in the opposite corner. The vibe is getting a little weird. Perhaps it’s time to hit up the fruit stand and get a smoothie.
