"Nobody gives it to ya, you have to take it."

I'm rededicating this blog so that henceforth it will be a space solely devoted to productivity and the advancement of the career I was meant to have, the career I will have: professional writer and director.  I'm putting it out there in the universe that this profession will be mine, that I will not settle for something less than what I want simply because it may provide me with more money in the short term.  I'm going to have what I want or die trying.  It's that serious.

This is no longer a blog with room to look back on what could have or should have been.  This is a blog I will attend to daily and nurture in order to keep my dream alive.  No more belittling or prefacing with, "this may sound silly," this goal to become a writer/director is serious as death.  It is going to happen.  All my insecurities will stand trial on the stand of this blog and they will face heavy scrutiny.

My writing process has always been the same for better or worse, I've just gotten more thorough at how I manage it.  As I work my way into an idea I write down, or now send text messages to myself, ideas as they come to me.  Since I discovered Amanda Hocking and her incredible success I've been locked in to one idea that I've had for years now.  I've compiled all my notes and put them into a three-ring binder.  Everything I need for the architecture of the story is there, I now have to arrange them so I can sort through what I have.  Today I begin that process.

And so it starts.  More soon.
