So this autumn I am doing something I have never done before. I'm super excited as it is turning out to be a great outlet for my creativity. Here it goes: I am making a movie. Well, a short film really. Some of you readers have graciously opened your homes up to the altar of possible locations and for that I am truly grateful. My friend and partner in the venture has been assigning me various books to beef up my film making knowledge. Some of it seems very intuitive and some just downright weird given the various union and guild regulations, etc. But I am up for the challenge. I like challenges.
At present this is more of a side hobby, but who knows, it may turn into something else. But I realized something about myself when this opportunity popped up. I often get that inspiration to leap into the abyss of the unknown, but my fear of success and failure (that somehow manage to coexist at the same time) eventually pulls me back. The times that I follow through on that intuition usually provide some of my happiest memories so why do I hold myself back? Well, I am done with that poppycock nonsense!
