I started this blog in 2012 not having really any idea where I was going with it. I wrote a few funny stories and then quit. I then I repeated that pattern several times. I just kept quitting, over and over again. I was afraid of what people might think. I was afraid that I wouldn't be funny enough and already knew that I wasn't the best with grammar. Plus I swear more than I should, but according to recent studies found on the all mighty Internet (where everything is TRUE!) swearing is actually a sign of intelligence. So basically I'm an f*ing genius.
I'm about to throw something out into the universe that only a few close friends know. I started writing again so that when I submit my pilot for the TV show that I'm writing, I'll at least be a little well known in social media (all 4 blog followers! Yay!) and maybe, just maybe that will help "get me out there".
Yes! I am writing a TV pilot about my experience working in student housing at U of M! I need a TON (seriously, a shit ton!) of dialog and loads of character development. I have an idea of how I want to roll with it, I just have to DO IT. So there it is. That's my dream!
Do you know how hard it is to admit that you have a dream? It's even harder to tell the ones that you love. Fear of failure is almost just as bad as fear of success. And what if my friends laugh at me? What if they think I can't do it? What if I say I'm going to do it and then I quit and eveyone thinks I'm a loser?
I said to one of my best girlfriends, "I know it's silly, but I really want to do it and I think it will be good. I know it's just a silly dream." And her response was, "I don't think it's silly! There'd be no TV shows or ANYTHING if no one ever had a dream!" She'll never know how encouraging that was to hear! Thanks, KM, I love you!
I'm trying to find my niche. I'm working on my blog and working on the script at the same time. I might bust out some character development blogs, some sad shit, some funny stuff about the kids. Just bear with me until I can figure this all out, ok?
And now you know!
Cheers!
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
