Awesome! Nice to have you back and to read that you haven't been sitting still last month. It seems like you have been doing something similar to me. Did I inspire you? ;>)

I also read and listened to ( audio book ) The Art of War, a couple of years ago and found out, last month, that an hour or two of writing ( max ) is my thing. I don't want to feel bad though when I skip a day. Things should not feel too forced. If something doesn't feel fun and making changes ( to your approach ) doesn't help, something is clearly off. We should always take negative signals ( feelings ) as a sign that something is not right.

Btw, that horror screenplay contest reminds me of partaking in something similar, 10 years ago, in Spain. I wrote a screenplay based on the story of "El Chupacabra". Never heard anything back ( think it was a Mexican contest ) but it was fun to do anyway.

Let's try to meet up in January. I feel 2020 is gonna be an awesome and very creative year :>)

Um abraço
