As you know I talk a good game! I tell everyone to work hard, sleep less and work more etc etc ... but do I practice what I preach? Yes is the simple answer. Right now you may be alarmed to know I'm working on lots of projects, I have this blog that I want to service at least once a day. I have a feature script that is soooo close to being ready that I have to fine tune, I have a graphic novel that I'm writing, a tv pilot and I'm not even done with that much. I also have a very ambitious three project crowd funding plan http://igg.me/p/19428?a=88034&i=shlk which I'll be running the campaign for over the next two months, and finally I have a short film in production that I'm writing and directing that will be shot tomorrow.
Oh and I have to enter film festivals and competitions too, all while staying active on the phones to people, keeping my online presence up. It can be hard work to find the time to work on all of these projects but I simply do, I don't let little things distract me away from the work. I find that if you believe in your ability to fulfill the goal then you can get there.
The point I'm trying to make in a round about way is that if you say you're going to do something then do it, even if you only say it to yourself. Wake up in the morning and say "I'm going to write ten pages today" and don't stop until they're great. And if you have to get up at page five and make dinner then do so, but don't forget to come back and finish what you started.
And with my apologies that is the end of today's blog because I have so much prep to do for the shoot tomorrow.
Write on... oh and donate to this awesome project : http://igg.me/p/19428?a=88034&i=shlk
