What's Wrong With Dreaming? 8/11/2009 8:40:43 PM
I never ever thought of myself as a person who doesn’t give up, but that is exactly who I have become. I have always been a free spirit but that isn’t really enough. You have to be able to take rejection…and who really likes rejection. For me it has been the reason I keep fighting to get it right.
Being a good writer isn’t enough. Some of my best clients have stopped writing because they didn’t hit the lucky jackpot with their first project. If they are out there and reading this you know who you are. What they need to do is go to their computers and write like mad… That’s what I do especially after seeing a movie that isn’t very good.
Every weekend I see movies, every night I watch movies and every day I hope a producer will read one of my scripts and say yes, I will make this movie happen! I will make these characters fly off the page and this movie will be fabulous. Not just fabulous but an academy award winning movie. I have learned to think big. What’s wrong with dreaming? Dreams are very important …but so is sleep. Writers with day jobs don’t exactly get enough sleep.
Every morning I say to myself I will go to bed early, and when it comes time to go to bed I look at the clock and then I keep writing promising myself tomorrow I will get rest. I guess that’s why God created makeup.
