Running in Spirals
I haven't been marketing my script lately. Between the web series I'm working on (and the learning curve on new media and social networking that comes with it), looking for a partner on the project I'm considering optioning (I think I found one), two script translations (one for a well-respected producer here in France), preparations for DreamAgo's writer's workshop in May (I'm on the organizing team), an online class I'm taking with Philippa Burgess, my own scripts that need re-writing, my teaching, a novel edit I started working on when things were slow (ah, those were the days!), and a non-profit I help run, I've been swamped!
HOW did this happen? What's the point of living in Paris if I can't while my hours away in a café? This feels like…like…New York!
I'm not complaining, really I'm not. I love everything that I do, and I seriously don't mind that I do it round the clock, seven days a week. It's a challenge and a learning process. Even though I'm not marketing my script right now, I am networking and building my career in ways I never would have thought of if I hadn't just jumped in and taken on some projects.

You are marketing, you're just doing it peripherally. It's great that you're immersed in such different fields all related to your main goal.
I live in sunny LA and spend the majority of my time holed up in my studio composing, sometimes I think I could be in the Arctic and it wouldn't look any different.
