Just Write

I wanna be a writer.

No... author.

No... screenwriter.

AHHH, who cares? I want to make a living writing. A GOOD living. I want to be able to wake up in my mansion in the hills overlooking my own private beach, wrap myself up in a blanket, and write all day.

I probably want that more than anything else in life.

So how to do it? I dunno. I look it up on the internet and every author out there says WRITE. WRITE EVERYDAY. They say a bunch of other things too (like get training, knowledge, an interesting life, a job in the field...) but the only thing I don't do from it all is actually write.

So here it goes- I'm writing.

I actually wrote a lot today. At work my boss always told me he wishes someday that my time at work can be spent writing more and doing office 'chores' less. I thought that would take years... but apparently that only took will.

I told myself I was going to write today, and somehow the cosmos decided that I would have the time I needed to finish my goal.

See... we're a production company. As a production company, you want to get yourself involved in new projects all of the time. If you're lucky- your own projects. And my boss hired me for that reason. He never had writers at his company, he wanted to start a tv series, and he liked my writer.

And today I actually got to get some stuff done.

And you know what? It was the single best day I have ever had at any job in my life. I felt blessed.

:)

Hopefully I'll get more days like today.

I honestly think that writing is what we were born to do Summer...
