So much is going on it’s hard to keep up. I got some hugely exciting news on Friday. A band I’ve been wanting to work with gave me the go-ahead to make a music video of one of their songs! This is going to be my most ambitious project to date. I expect to take this one into pre-production in mid-October. I’m giving myself three months to get through pre-production. I hope to start casting in January/February and start shooting in March or April. We’ll see how the reality ends up being, but that’s the goal.
The Book: No word from the editor, but she won’t start it until October. The soonest I expect to hear something is mid-October. I’m trying to not think about it but it’s hard. I really miss writing! I’m even starting to think about plots for book number 2. I know that’s way premature, but I just can’t help it 
Music Video number 1: Going well. Shooting is half way done. Working with child actors is always a blast (sarcastic). Ugh, we had a shoot at a bookstore over the weekend and boy was my talent distractable that day! I knew I only had a matter of minutes to get my shots before things turned ugly. So I was able to get 5 shots in 25 minutes, which is pretty crazy. We have our long shooting day coming up on Saturday, so I hope it goes well. We may have to break it into two days. When working with children you are really at the mercy of their moods. But when she is on…..she is stellar!
Real Estate: I am learning the science of wholesaling short sales. This opportunity will be so awesome once I learn the ropes. I now have a joint venture with one of the top short sale companies in the country. Super exciting. Also I got 2 people to put on my “buyer’s list” so that makes me feel official I hope to start going after my first deal in 3 weeks or so.
This Week: I’ll be in the editing suite this week. I’m editing an educational DVD for adoptive families. It will be nice to work on something totally different from what I’ve been doing. Also, I booked an editing job that actually pays for October. Time to replenish the funds! Once I’m a wealthy real estate investor I can fund all my own creative projects and not worry about it!
Wow! Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! You are SO inspiring.
And I think you should just start writing that next book. When you’ve got the flow going you have to keep it flowing!
