What To Do, What To Do?

Hello Lovelies!

As most of you know I have a job that I don't think is for me anymore and in trying to find out what is for me I have found so many options that could be good for me moving forward. I ran into someone I used to work with on Friday one of the few I really miss from my old company and she reconfirmed that I should just go for what I want and do what I have to to get there. She said it was too late for her but it wasn't too late for me. That had me thinking alot over the weekend about what it really is that I want to do, that I'd enjoy doing and feel good about so I thought I've always wanted to be in the TV and Film Industry, not in front of the camera but instead doing things that make a story come to life in pictures. At the same time I want to be a writer so why not combine the two and look into Script-Writing...again.

I had looked into it years ago but never went any further than staring at the application forms for various programs. I did read books on the subject that's when I realized there is a whole lot more to writing something that people are going to act out than what people are going to read and envision inside their head. There is a degree of difficulty in each just on completely different levels. You really can't compare the 2.

I guess I figured I didn't have the time with the kids and everything to do it but as I've said before... I have the time now. There is a certain degree of fear though and I always tell people to go after what they want in life and fight for it if it's going to make you happy so I guess I should take my own advice!

Sometimes though you have to do what you don't want to do in order to find a way to do something you'll love doing in the end.

OK that's that so now what?

The hunt is on for classes or online courses to get this done because this ( what I do now ) is not what I want my life to be full of. These are happy thoughts! As much as I come home form work looking for the whiskey bottle for that 1 shot that burns away the awful day sometimes. ( It's probably good there isn't one lately ) Most of the time I can leave the office at the office and that's a good thing right?

Time to start the new phase now. I get a week off at the end of this month and my efforts will be concentrated on finding what I need to move forward. I know it won't be an easy road, I can't give up and let it slip away either though so I'm going to dig my heels in and make that shift in an otherwise comfortable life and show my kids ( all of you ) that if you want it...you can get it.

It might take awhile though...Bring it on...

See Ya
