Week 507: Not So Dear Sabbatical

Weekly Written Review 

At the start of this week, I envisioned a blog post entitled, Dear Entertainment Industry. In that post, I was going to write about taking somewhat of a hiatus from the industry. That idea barely lasted a week.  Two weeks ago, I was on a mission to write two new television pilots but I've been stuck on how to fully develop those worlds. On Sunday, I decided, I'm not going to force my brain to write. I'm better off taking it easy or embrace something new. Sure, I want to write new material but I have a good amount of completed scripts. I have no reason to strain out more. I'm honestly just not in the spirit of writing new ideas right now. This made me evaluate my position in the entertainment industry. I didn't plan on quitting but I figured it would be healthy to step aside for a moment. Fast forward to Friday, I woke up from a long nap to a message from an acting colleague. Her messages included a list of twitter handles of people that want to help African American writers. I got right on it and discovered a plethora of people wanting to help. Apparently and unfortunately, George Floyd's death is warming people's desires to help writers like myself. 

Before Friday, I never effectively DMed anybody on Twitter. I have an account but I don't use it. Saturday morning, they starting replying with offers to read my scripts and possibly help. I ended up sending out my TV pilot to 4 people and my autobio screenplay to one person. I made another contact with a person in Canada that might consider me for a role one day. 

Monday morning I woke up with an epiphany and spent 3 productive days researching stocks. I thought that was going to be my main focus for a while. I tried to study stocks in February but I didn't enjoy the experience. I had a pleasant experience with stocks with week. Now I have better resources and I'm more balanced. 

There's a shift taking place. Wait until you read about my developments next week. For now, I'm in a good-spirited place allowing me to balance the worlds of stocks and entertainment.
