Week 508: 7 Days to Treatment

Weekly Written Review 

Last week I decided to devote myself to the world of stocks, then an email changed everything. Last month I was expecting results from BET's Project CRE8:TV contest. On April 15 (Week 500) I submitted my first television pilot and anticipated the results by the end of May. There were no updates in May. Based on how crazy the world is, it could be for any reason. After a certain point, you just got to keep it moving. With the contest far from my mind, I received an email on Monday indicating that I'm a semifinalist. I honestly had no emotion. I was with my writing partner and showed her the email from my phone. She was prompted not to get excited because it doesn't mean, yet. It's good news but there's still a long way to go before it actually amounts to something meaningful.

The only thing I allowed myself to believe is that something is shifting. This coupled with a positive email from a finance executive the day before, I'm sensing a definite shift. The email informed me of that next requirement, which is a 5-page treatment. Without ever completing an official treatment, I had a smooth experience with this one. It was fun, had a lot of laugh out loud moments and there was no stress. I was basically done on Thursday and I made minor adjustments until submission on Monday (Week 509). 

It was a powerful 7 days. All kinds of new ideas began flowing through my head for the first time in a while. The best part is, my introduction with stocks last week was not neglected. Letting go of the entertainment world for a week, allowed my soul to embrace a whole new world, and now its a part of me. I'm proud of that. It's not easy for a mind that always wants to be creative to collide with numbers but it's happening and I'm getting it done.
