What an experience visiting and pitching to places was! We went to ten places that are key in media in all of Canada. When we first got there, I felt like I definitely knew what my path was going to be. I was planning on getting a job near my house and then write during the hours I wasn't working. While there, I felt I really wanted to be part of this thing that is media in Canada. I was a little down discovering that I didn't get that job because it makes me stressed out about money again, but I think it's ultimately a good thing for my future.One of the things I learned is how useful I could be as someone with a background in project management. I think that is the right path for me to take. I could end up an Assistant Director or someone who manages programming schedules or nearly anything because time management and getting talent to deliver things on time is one of the areas that is a constant struggle.
But my work life is a little like sand right now. A strong wind can blow a structure apart only to reform elsewhere. Entropy is this week's theme and it's quite a fitting one given that I've quite a bit to figure out.
I sent in a short film script to the broadcast students, sent a short script to a new contact, did script coverage for a local film maker, and learned my feature could really get made if I can find a producer that would be interested in it. Good things are happening though the future isn't clear yet.
I've also made progress on editing my novel. I'm going to be changing some things based on what I learned about TV. I may even get in touch with one of the companies I really liked and could see my stories being told through. I have some further questions about something they said.
So I'm going to keep working hard and making contacts that could help me get somewhere that makes sense for me in the industry.
And that's how life's river flows today.
