| 2 AM OVER-STIMULATION | Saturday, August 21, 2010 |
It's 2 am, and I really should be in bed. My eyes were blurring about 4 hours ago, so why am I still here? That seems to be the question of the hour. I think I am over-stimulated, but it's not from coffee... I really don't drink much coffee. I think it's from having too much on my mind. I'm working on too many projects right now. Truthfully, it seems about all I do is sit in front of this computer and write. Oh yeah... here is the latest load-down...
I am currently working as a freelance reporter for a newspaper in Southern California. While I do love "telling the story," writing feature stories require a lot of research. I suppose I can't complain about that either, because I am a research hound. The truth is... I LOVE IT! However, it is time consuming. Along with news journalism, I have my own writing/editorial business, and I stay busy with press releases, resume building, website content, editing, copywriting, and various other writing-related jobs. In addition, I am ghostwriting a book for a health coach, which is also very time consuming, and trying to keep up with the 6 original screenplays that I am writing -- 2 have recently been optioned. I am about to sign a contract to ghostwrite another book on finance, and I may be writing for an up-coming TV show that the Discovery Channel is negotiating. The head writer has asked me to come on board, and if this goes into production, we will knock out 6 episodes. Once those are completed, if the show moves into a 2-year contract, then I will be relocating to Nashville, where the show is going to be filmed.
I used to write a poem a day... Now it is a rare moment when I have time. I really miss poetry.
I really need to visit the sandman...
Good night.
