in the works

I've learned that putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) actually helps move things along. Chris and I have always written down our goals, often associating completion with actual dates or locations. I've told this story before but, a good year before we left Salt Lake City for New York, we circled the day after I would finish my graduate program on our desk calendar and said, this is the day we move. And in fact, we piled into the Uhaul on that exact date.

So I'm using this blog post as an announcement, of sorts, that things are in the works. In the last six months I've written a lot about full-time families and personal and professional freedom (no, I'm not quitting my job.) But I do have a thing or two up my sleeve to get us closer to those goals. And at least one of them, I expect, I'll be announcing in the next month. So stay tuned!

Also in the works is Chris' amazing film project. This Sunday Chris' writing partner is flying in from Paris, and their producer is coming in from LA. Their project is an Official Selection of the Emerging Narrative Project Forum; part of the Independent Film Project so they'll be spending this next week, learning a ton,  hobnobbing with some big wigs and hopefully garnering up a lot of interest for the script which is set to shoot in St. Louis this spring. Eeecckk!

So a lot is happening in turtle territory.
