Kicking Up the Ambition...

Summer is always a strange time to try and start ambitious editing projects. Yet, if I'm trying to throw myself back into the swing of things then no time will be too busy to start anything. I want to stay inspired, focused and developing every creative bone in my body. Remember, to always tell yourself, it's never to late to learn and develop.

I'll be experiencing some "separation" from a certain friendship for a little bit right now as I try and get things moving in positive direction. Yet, right now as I have my free time during my lunch, I'm searching for work: you know, what's out there? I can't imagine being unemployed during this time yet I've had some very long bouts of unemployment and feel the pain of many who have been searching for work. The known way to go about searching for work and where I have my experience is the very easy way to go. It's time for the challenge. What do I really love to do? What skills do I have right now that could benefit me in a gig? Gotta know the dead-end secretary job can't be how I spend another decade of my precious life. And the chase after the screenwriting dream, well...it's so close yet so far away. I have to continue to challenge myself on a daily basis to write and market my script and to continue the development of other ideas, even if they are in "treatment" form. My career... my life cannot be about just paying the bills and keeping my head above water.

I need to work and live a creative space. One that will grow my intellectually, mental and spiritually. It can happen. I just have to believe I can be a working screenwriter & film director.

keep hope alive, VSJ. Please...
