Hey all!
I shared my Monster? blog post with my mom and sisters. My mom has heard all these pieces at different times. It’s just overwhelmed her for it all to be together. And yes… This is the Cliff Notes version. And Mom has had her own hell too. The cool part? I finally got Mom to see that I don’t need her to save me from the bad shit cuz she’s there when it matters: She helps pick up the pieces with no judgments. And she has finally come around to knowing that I’m going to do what I’m going to do.
Sure. Consequences can suck sometimes. BUT BUT BUT do you know what sucks more? Wondering what woulda, coulda, shoulda.
I also confirmed today that I will never work with Alvin Washington again. We worked on a series of projects together. I absolutely learned a ton about working with a green actor with some training. We’re now at different places in our careers. I absolutely wish him the best. And it’s getting me to think about my next collaborators since I’m starting fresh with Montana actors. Yes. I may fly in some of my Los Angeles actors depending on the project. But it would be good to have systems in place first.
One is getting my 3 WISHES outline together for tomorrow’s deadline. Yup. I’ve decided that it’s time to get notes when scripts are at this stage than completed: much easier to make changes. I learned this from working on my thesis for my Masters of Fine Arts in screenwriting. This is going to much easier than planned. A massive winter storm has me house bound where I’m dog sitting instead going back to town for my websites’ photo shoot.
Dudes! I’m going to into the weeds cuz let’s face it: I feel like
A Mack Truck ran me over
Stopped and backed up to see what it had run over
And ran me over again.
I wouldn’t have it any other way.
So… I’ll give an update on 3 WISHES tomorrow.
Have a wonderful night on purpose. I’m turning into a pumpkin. Not literally. But you get the idea.
