Where's your head at?

Emily is right.

Where's your head at?

Are you really a writer? Or are you just like the thousands of other guys in LA - talking about being a writer?

I ask myself that question on a daily basis. Most of the time - I don't like the answer.

And I'm luckier than most.

I have an agent. In fact - I have two. I have a manager. I have producers sending me short stories they want me to look at and ideas they want me to develop.

But if you wanted to eat on what I've earned as a writer - even a mouse would go hungry. Hell - I tried to live on air for two years and all it got me was an empty bank account.

Last year - I wrote a script in January. Had a draft to my agent by March. Thought I would kick out at least two more scripts that year.

Whoops.

Seems I like to talk about writing more than I like to write. And rewriting ranks lower than writing.

Granted - I did have a greenlit movie fall apart - and then had to devote myself to actually working for the rest of the year - but still...

In the time I was complaining - Ryan wrote two scripts. David wrote a script and produced a film based on that script - and is in the middle of a rewrite on a brilliant script he did earlier. Blair - well... Blair is producing and starring in a podcast - and has yet to even go back to blogging...So it's nice to know I'm at least better than one of my circle.

I am writing a bit.

I have 3 scripts about 20 pages long. But like the belle of the ball - I'm having some commitment issues.

I hope this year is different. I hope this year is better... I hope to get my act together and write more. And more. And not just pages - but good pages.

Its not hard - it just takes time, focus and discipline.

And I lack time, focus and discipline.

But this is 007. And maybe this year - I'll actually obtain a license to write.

As long as I can find my head - and get it in the game.

But for now - it's another day on a plane. I'm going back to Cali...
