Updates

Just a quick update on my life.

Things are starting wind down here at LAFSC. And not winding down like a windmill prop or even a wheel of some kind. More like a tunnel that compresses down tighter and tighter until it comes to a fine point and all of you is pressed through it like toothpaste.

I currently have 3 MAJOR projects that will require a lot of time and are all due within a few days of each other. This is not including my everyday normal responsibilities either. I have a 1500+ word paper, a 110 page script (which is 40 pages shy of 110) and sound editing and mixing for our HPW short film. All three are due between the 3rd and the 5th. Life is getting more stressful all of the sudden. I also have several other assignments to do/blow off between now and when those big ones are due as well.

I "pitched" my script to a producer this week in screenwriting. It didn't go well. You could even say I crashed and burned a little. It wasn't a problem with my story at least, I just suck at pitching apparently. But I am moving on. As Lew Hunter said, "You never fail in Hollywood. You just keep going or quit." So I pick myself up, keep going and learn how to pitch better in the future.

I've been struggling with feelings of loneliness lately but tonight was good. I went out with some co workers after work and had a lot of fun. It really helped pick me up a lot. It may not last but it was nice to feel a part of a group, even if only for a little while.

That is all for now. Hopefully I can find time to post here during the crucible before me.
