Rewrites...Grrrrr

So, I'm doing some more rewrites on my play, Sidhe this morning, before rehearsal this afternoon...yes, I know, always waiting until the last minute...

I don't know what it is. Is it just plain arrogance? That I'm far too important to work on projects like normal people, in a regular fashion, meaning a little at a time, progressing diligantly forward to a designated goal a day at a time until said goal is rewardingly achieved? So important that I must waste time THINKING about the project a little at a time, progressing obsessively forward, a day at a time, until the last possible moment where the actual execution of the project becomes decidedly limited to the specific amount of time necessary to get the work done without ANY glitches or mistakes happening.

You know the drill: I can get it done, let's just hope my printer doesn't run out of ink, or paper, or...God forbid, jam (shudder, shudder).

If that is indeed the case, it certainly suffers from a lack of rationality. Especially since I've done it MANY TIMES before. Perhaps it is not just arrogance, but mainly ignorance...

Although, I do take comfort in the fact, that I have NOT actually, this time around, "waited until the last minute", I have allowed for things like...paper jams (shudder again) and the inevitable "writer's jam" which always rears its ugly head in times like these, so I think I'm actually making some progress. I have actually taken "notes" earlier in the week and have listed the sections/pages that need to be rewritten, so I have laid out a wee framework from which to embark on this mini-journey this morning...however...

The fact remains that I indeed could have done this last night instead of watching Season Two of Family Guy...and the fact also remains that I am indeed still arrogant. And ignorant.

Again, sigh...
