I’m sitting outside and the sun feels almost foreign. I could blame the regularly scheduled cold weather. But really it hasn’t occurred to me to subject myself to sunshine. Days pass and I barely remember stepping outside. Very sad! Such is the life of an artist who is all consumed.
The Book: Got the notes and critique back from my editor! She was very positive and that helped bring my level of self-consciousness way down. Luckily, she said the structure of my book is pretty good. So future rewrites will focus more on filling out the story rather than redoing parts of it. I am taking some time to absorb all her notes and get clear on the next set of rewrites.
Music Video#2: Started pre-production this week. Basically I am putting in “fake shots” in my editing program so I can map out the pacing and define each shot that is needed. Tedious but fun. Doing this process I got one minute into the song this week- slow going.
In addition this week was chalked full of taking both kids to various medical specialists (they are fine!) Also I am editing a family movie this week and next week. It takes all my time which causes things like the book and the music video to barely get attention. But I am grateful for the money, and I do still love making these family documentaries. With this paycheck I’ll be able to float another couple months and really kick some butt on the book and music vid. Once these projects are done, I am certain Metallica or Dave Mathews will want to hire me to do their next video 
(gotta dream big, right?)
