At 75% the veins in my neck being to stand out and the ones at my temples pulse. If I were to look in the mirror now, I'm sure I would resemble an extra from the movie "Scanners". My head literally feels as if it is about to pop, flinging quivering grey matter all over the walls. I'm sure once I hit 100% mark it will not be as dramatic as it feels. Maybe more like someone deflating a skanky blow up doll, a high whine and hiss sounding as my head collapses in on my neck, finally relieved of all the pressure I've built up behind this project. But for now, I have to wrestle this bear that is doing the lambada on my skull...all because the story is only 75% complete.
Its funny how my aspirations seem to always out strip my reach. Whether it be professional (scope of conceived project), personal (yeah...I'm the guy who has every intention of running a marathon, getting in on a little Ultimate Fighting competition action, sky diving, salsa lessons and getting home to put together a 5 star gourmet meal to impress my date all in the span of one day) or relationships (to the brightest and best in my life...I am more than a human dial tone, come on give the kid a chance)
So as it stands, I'm more than halfway there, but still have a quarter mile to go before the first draft of the story is finished. I can only imagine what it will feel like when the next stage of my maniacal plan for world domination kicks in. Look out 76% here I come!
