A creative idea can be like a child. It whimpers when it needs attention. It follows you around the house tugging at your skirt, looking up at you with big irresistible eyes. At times it can be very demanding, especially when it’s not getting your deserved attention.

PHASE I: DENIAL
I have one of those “children” right now. This idea for a short film, this vision hit me so hard I should have know up front it wasn’t gonna leave me alone. But I tried to dismiss it because well… it’s just way too ambitious to handle right now. I have no clue how to fund it, no clue how to make the elaborate props and set design it would require, and doubt I could possibly get permission to use the song I want. (I wrote about this in a previous post….Mr. Leto? Are you listening?) Other than that it’s just a great idea. Peachy. Cool. And idea, would you PLEASE GO AWAY. I really don’t want you right now. Ummmm…no…you’re not going to go away, are you? Crap.

PHASE II: ALL RIGHT, FINE!
Ok, ok, idea. I see that you are going to keep whining. So I will need to silence the idea by proving it wrong. That should be easy enough. All I need to do is ask (Mr. Leto) for clearance to use the song and get a big fat NO in return. Also, I could talk to a friend who would totally know if my idea is even possible, I mean FUNDABLE, and get a big laugh in the face when I find out my idea will cost 2 million dollars. So, easy enough! That is what I will do in the next few weeks. So take that you big fat annoying… amazing, stunning, I’ll-cry-if-I-can’t-have-you IDEA!!!

Stay Tuned. I will be posting the results from my conquest here. Maybe THEN this dang idea will realize that I can’t possibly be the one to carry out its vision…can I?

*update, after posting this I went onto FaceBook and the only person logged on was the woman mentioned above who can give me some ideas of how I might go about doing this idea, just set up a meeting with her. Hmmmm, is the universe speaking? Won’t get my hopes up just yet…
