I'm in Love With a Strict Machine

I've been talking, dreaming and whining about my future for years, maybe even a decade. And finally, finally I have the plan. See, I think my problem was that I wasn't confident in my abilities, in the future, in what I'm doing now in order to prepare. But, I think I was making it more complicated than it needed to be.

Here's the plan:

1) Get hired as a personal assistant to an actor or actress in the UK.
2) I now have a work visa in the UK as well as having my foot in the film industry door which means
3) Get a position within the industry, most likely screenwriter.

I think that's been my destiny all along. Screenwriter. Saying it is weird, though. I can say I'm almost positive of the personal assistant gig (though I do need a plan B) but screenwriter? I never imagined myself going down that route. Unless you count novelist but those are two very different things.

I realized recently that screenwriter has to be it because I'm not very good at handling the camera, picking out the shots, dealing with the sound levels - none of that. What I'm good at is ideas. Furthering the plot. Drawing out the characters. Trying to make something unique from something that's boring or contrived. And I can do it quickly.

Maybe I'll move up the ladder to produce films, maybe even direct. All I know is that I have so many stories to tell and I love film.

So. That's the plan. Now, to think up plan B...

In other news, my best friend is becoming a priestess today. I can't be more proud. I'm not sure what to do...or if I should do anything. I don't know. Take more classes perhaps? I feel more connected to her than ever before and feel its needed to do something no matter how small.

Hmm.

XOXO
