Fall Is Here Again
September 10th, 2006 Chasing The Dream

Well, it’s not officially Fall yet, but anyone living in New England will certainly agree with me that it feels like Summer is over. I love/hate it. Spring and Summer are undoubtedly my favorite seasons. That warm feeling of re-birth that I feel when the trees begin to bud and leaves slowly begin to cover them is what makes it worth suffering through the Winter (and my seasonal effectiveness disorder… I don’t write much in the Winter). Fall is just a bridge that we all cross that gives way to Winter… the time of year when everything green just seems to die. Ironically, as much as I hate the winter and how it hinders my work, the writing bug always seems to bite me harder at the first sign of Fall (despite how depressed the season makes me). It’s as if I am at the end of a race and kick into a sprint to finish faster… as if I subconsciously know that I need to work harder to make up for an almost certain lack of progress the following season.

…I’m weird.

On to news on The Dominance Flush screenplay. THINGS ARE GOING GREAT!!! I’ve been staying up a bit later than my wife each night and have slowly but surely been moving along with the project. My reason for this whole post is that today I saw a single tree on Route 1 covered in red leaves… it is the first sign of Fall (aside from the weather) that I have seen. It reminded me of what first inspired me to write The Dominance Flush; dead trees. Just look at the top of this site, just below my name… what do you see? A seemingly dead forest. It was as my eyes settled upon that tree that divine inspiration hit me again! I now know where I will be going next with the screenplay, but I will not share it publicly yet. For those of you who are interested though, and are disappointed that I haven’t yet posted a bit of the screenplay, your wait will soon be over. It will happen this week!

I love fall. It is certainly my favorite time of year. It’s feeling like fall here as well. I love that the days are shorter, the air is cool and crisp in the mornings and evenings and yet it is still sunny during the day and quite possibly the perfect temperature. I love when the leaves turn all shades of red and orange and most of all I love all the smells that come with the harvest produce. This is my favorite time or year to bake and I usually always fill a pot with water and simmer cinnamon, cloves, and a little nutmeg. It fills the house with a wonderful fall smell that we all love.

Whoa, I was starting to sound like Martha Stewart … dear God!!!!

P.S. Wasn’t it just January? What the hell happened to this year? I’m going to be 31… OMG!!!!!

Hmmm… you used the words “bake” and “pot” in the same sentence. I know what you’re all about now, Tina.

Hehehe.

Yes, there are many nice things about Fall, but I still see it as the beginning of Winter.
