First Decide

1/21/15

First you decide to write. Or you are written. You must write. I must write. I have since I was about 10 and received a journal in which I filled the pages with my fantasy of being a ballet dancer, living in a loft and marrying a Frenchman. Not a bad start.

Now years later, I have been studying important tools that build conflict, magnetic engagement, and satisfaction. But not since I was about 28 have I attempted to write a full length screen play - and never anything for TV.

But now is the time. I have reached out to a coach to guide me through that process - generating and writing material for a spec or feature (hey maybe more).

She is terrific. Comes highly recommended.

Anticipated hurdles:
* Day job
* Real Estate business (which I'm building)
* Life

But. Um. Since "This" is what I want to do.

This is btw: Write a professional level: that means - write quick, to deadline, integrate the "tools" so thoroughly, it'd be like, hmmm Pink Lady Apple or Granny Smith for this pie - go - write consistently well and have multiple spec projects in my kitty.

After that - well perhaps a manager and meetings.

Got to learn how to be "good in the room"
Got to learn how to soft pitch and longer ones (are they called hard pitch. I doubt it).

Stay tuned. I'm going to go through a lot of paper.
