I think I'm done with writing. I've been doing it for almost 17 years, off and on, not truly committing and I wonder what I'm getting out of it. I've had some great stories and entertained some people...
I think I'm done with writing. I've been doing it for almost 17 years, off and on, not truly committing and I wonder what I'm getting out of it. I've had some great stories and entertained some people...
...but is my heart still in it? I've broken even but I haven't shot a short film in five years, I've sent out a bunch of scripts for queries with no reply, making me question my potential.
I left the army WAY back in 2005 because I thought I had what it took to make it...

...and I've always been there to those who have helped me and I've returned the favor to them and will so again if they need me to. I look at the amazing @OKBJGM and @joshstolberg who follow me and I wonder, if at my age of 45, if I should continue to struggle...

...and if it's possible to get a manager, let alone an agent, who will see the value in my work. Today, of all days, is Family Day in Alberta and I'm working on my SCMP project for school. If I didn't have this, I'd probably spend time on a script...

This isn't a sob story and this may be just a caffeine fueled rant before I go back to my case report. I love writing but haven't pushed myself hard enough to get to that level to be successful in making films or creating screenplays.
So I'll take some time off. Not feel the pressure of trying to "make it" or prove my work to others. I support each one of you and love seeing the success you have. I will certainly read anyone's script and give feedback, for that's the nature of the business. Or so I think...
...it should be, with #WRAC being an amazing group.
