Goal

22 pages. That's what my life is riding on now, those 22 pages of sitcom that I keep reading a revising. I think I need a break from it...oh right, christmas is coming. Thank goodness. Over break I'm going to talk to my brother and his posse at work to see if anyone can give me any constructive criticism on my work. He works with a very creative team of people, and most of them are very friendly, so I shouldn't have any problems there.

I only have one final to go, and luckily, not all of them are like our capstone final which officially hurt me. I have my final scene and shakespeare monologue separating me from my freedom in my advanced acting class. I can't wait to get some sleep.

I miss the show. I keep having dreams that I forgot to do the rundown or that the cameras are messed up and the shows all in disarray. I think my body just wants something to stress over other than finals, and is wondering why I'm not obsessing over the show. I'm going to miss producing it next semester, that brought a lot of stress, but a lot of enjoyment into my life. I can honestly say that I could produce for a living and not hate my life.

But I must go work on my monologue and then pack some more. Have a great break everyone!

The Project

My senior project was to write a sitcom pilot and also get together a resume tape of some sort to put together a portfolio of my talents. While writing my pilotm I found a lot of problems with the writing because I couldn't find a scenario that seemed honest to what I was doing. Finally, I found something that I could write about and draw on my own ideas and life experiences to share with the world.

I should have spent more time with the project writing creatively and just brainstorming in general, but with the pull of all my other responsibilities, my script isn't quite where I would like it to be, but is well on its way to becoming great. As far as resume tape material, I am LOADED. I have radio on-air personality, news anchor, and my tv producing has a great tape too since we had all that great explosion stuff. I am really excited.

I feel that I have enough stuff to get me started SOMEWHERE, and as I get to keep reworking my script over break and getting new ideas and experiences, it can only grow from there.

So that's my update on the project, now all I need to do is find someone to read it...
