So I have been putting off finishing writing my treatment to have it sent to a friend to edit it for me. I think Im doing it so that I don't have to realy analyze it much. The main character is very much a part of me and it is a kind of therapy for me to write it. Its more of a confrontation of my insecurities, then anything else. And I think it will make the script that much more powerful, but at the same time it will make it harder for me to have people criticize it. What doesn't hurt me with only make me stronger. I also need to put all the novels I have been wanting to read away. Finished a Laurel K Hamilton and a Kelley Armstrong, and as long as I don't go to the bookstore and buy the next ones in the searies then I think I might be able to get some work done.
Now as for my job hunt...Well Iam really frustrated. I have not heard back from anyone yet. But I haven't sent out that many resumes yet. I'm starting to debate on sending out some for internships, but with those being unpaid makes it hard. So Im trying to decide if I should try to take out a loan and try to survive off of take while working to get experience that will lead to a higher paying job. Or at least that is the goal. Don't quite know if that will actually happen, so I have to try to decide and soon. Trying not to stress about it. This is what I want to do and well by gone it. I will.

What now?
So, it has been a month since my last posting and so much has happened. Went to my gradfathers funeral and was able to see all my cousins and there families, which I haven't been able to do in years. Then a short week later it was time to go to the Sundance Film Festival. I can not even get all to words out to explain the wonder it was to volunteer there. But I will try anyways.
Before I got there I was having a hard time with my creativity. I had hit this wall. I knew what I wanted to do, but wasn't able to get it out. But while at Sundance there was all this insparation around me. Going to some of the panels as well as the New Frontier exhibit made it so that I was jittery with creativity, but alas no where to put it. There was the hitRECord.org people, whom Iam hoping to be able to work with some later, who had computers to help do editing. But alas, my timing Really sucked. There was always someone else on it busy editing or they were recording. But everyone who I talked that worked with hitRECord, all had this passion for film and making it a colaborative thing, that you couldn't help but want to be around them. Dan and Lula, I doubt you will ever read this, but it was a pleasure to talk to you guys and I hope to talk to you guys again. Down to earth people who are passionate and genereally great people are always a pleasure to be around, and you guys made hitRECord and fun place to come by and see. It was as if I had lost apart of myself and I was finally able to find it again.
And let me just say how refreshing that was. I do have an idea to make my first feature film to be working with the production company. It would be great to be able to my little script about me and my roommates in to a reality, with the help of people all around the world. Alas it is another dream that I will have to work hard to make in to a reality, but it is something that is 100% possible. It will just take time.
Any ways I was able to see only about 6 films at sundance, which they were all amazing, but next year I will be staying closer and determined to see more. As well as see more panels.
So whats next in my life now? Well that is a good question. Iam back working in accounting again, only took a month off with everything happening. But Iam starting to send out my resume around in search to find a job in the industry, while I try to keep up my writing. I have decided to keep this blog going and keep an update with my script and search for that open door in to the industry. I know it will be hard road, but as someone told me at Sundance, "If you see yourself doing something else for a living, you need to be doing that. Don't go in to the film industry if you can see yourself somewhere else. It is too hard of a road to do so otherwise." Well that is true and I did sit there for a minute to see if I could see myself doing something else. And the only thing that came up to my mind is NOTHING. I want to do this no matter how hard it might be. I know I wont be rich, but I will be doing what I love and that is enough for me. Well off to try to be productive. LOVES and HUGs. Never fear your dreams, persue them, never run away.
