I Have Decided. . .

Hey everyone, hope you're have a good day. I just decided that there must be a "reason" why I haven't found a job yet. It's not as if I haven't been looking, so there must be some kind of divine intervention going on. . . I decided to concentrate a lot of energy into my novel and the new screenplay.
The novel is still stewing around in my brain, but I've made a lot of progress on the current screenplay and I'm pretty excited about it. I think I will go ahead and take another screenplay class this fall before concentrating on my novel, which will be my Thesis. The screenplay (don't want to give too much about it away) is a sequel to one of my favorite movies as a kid---those who know me well can try to guess which one. I don't want to tell the premise yet because then it's easy to lose momentum with a long-term project like this. But I did want to say that this project will be a collaboration between Cary, Amy, and me. I've never really worked on a group project like that so I hope it will be a good experience.
I must say that Cary and I often collaborate our "thinking" on projects together, but usually it's just kicking ideas around-this time we're actually both going to do the writing. Amy will be one of our Idea people, I don't know how she'd have time to hands-on write stuff out, after all she's mothering four kids right now!
Well, I just wanted to update everyone and let them know that I'm still around. I'm still writing, and I'm still looking for gainful employment. I think maybe the Universe is telling me to focus on my writing for right now because I have a bad habit of flitting around things. I don't spend enough time on any one thing to become a quote/unquote expert on it-except for my passion for good stories. Finally, I have found the thing I want to do for the rest of my life. I want to become an expert at my craft.
