Reboot

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve blogged... A lot has been going on in my life and it kind of went by the wayside.
Well, things change and they’ve changed again. Just nine days ago I left my beloved Austin, TX behind for the bright lights of Los Angeles, CA. A difficult change for sure, but I feel that I needed more opportunities and to get out and more active. So far I can feel the difference in energy already. Things seem to be happening all around me here - I just need a find my way into the thick of it. A lot of my colleagues said I was crazy for moving without a steady job lined up, but so far I’m not worried. Yes, there’s the whole economy slowdown thing. Yes, there’s the whole tragic state of North American film distribution these days. Yes, there hasn’t been a decent independent sales market for four years... There’s a lot going against me, against the whole film industry in general. But, I can’t sit around waiting for things to be “good”. They’re never going to be ideal for anybody looking to strike out and make their way in this world until somebody that person makes things ideal for themselves. No more waiting, no more excuses - it’s time to get down and dirty and make things happen.
Here goes nothing.
So, that brings me back to the topic of this blog. I’m not going to try to be as supremely focused as I was with the last one. It’s not just going to be me justifying whatever I did that day as progress in my career. It’ll be about whatever is on my mind... which, yes, mostly is justifying whatever I did that day as progress in my career, but I’m going to open things up again. Really, more than anything, it’s going to be an outlet for my energies as recommended to me by a fellow writer. Sometimes when a script isn’t going you just need to write something else. This is a place for that.
So, I’m back on the horse as they say. Let’s see how long this lasts.
