My Passion aka The Passion of Nando

It has felt like an eternity since I wrote my last blog, and I am ashamed that I haven’t kept up with it as much as I’ve wanted.  In the interim, I have been busy improving my competency in Final Cut Pro, Motion, Action Essentials, and Photoshop.  Learning all of this is necessary and fun, but extremely time consuming.  As a result, I have not kept up with my writing.

I miss writing. 

Writing is my strength and my escape. I enjoy creating characters and the worlds in which they live. With writing I am immersed in the lives of my characters.  Their stories, their struggles, their triumphs – they are my stories, struggles and triumphs.

Don’t misunderstand me. I love the process of filmmaking. I enjoy directing and setting up my vision (to my budget’s best ability), but screenwriting is my strong suit.  As Suzy, my friend and business partner pointed out, I am happiest when writing.

I miss writing.

So I have reorganized and rescheduled my tasks and duties (yes, I said duties) to include more time to write.  This was not easy given the enormity of working full time, raising a family, and running a production company.  Entity Eye is still developing the Mark of Kings graphic novel, a new web series, and several short films. 

But I am determined to write more.  I offer this blog as proof.  And as incentive, as I have now publically renewed my commitment to writing.   While not wanting to publically admit I have not honored this commitment should provide motivation to write, I believe I will write simply because I miss writing.


Did I mention I miss writing? Okay, just wanted to be sure. Thanks for listening to my ramblings.


Cheers!
