| touch of evil (2) |
It's kind of heavy, taking your hobby and treating it like a business. as some may know, i write. i have had these twenty odd stories in my mind and on various computers, pieces of paper and audio tapes for over ten years. i've spent 2 years developing 6 of them for TV. but now i find that for most of that time i have been only playing.
that's right, playing.
i have been passionate about what i do. I have spent the time, the effort, shed blood (mine and others). i have alienated people who probably thought they were trying to help me. i have befriended some whose sole aim was to help themselves before they helped me. thankfully those have been very very rare.
but i have been playing.
the past few weeks have seen me change my thinking. i have to. my old world no longer suits me. it stifles me, blunts me. it holds me in a grip that seems vicelike, but i know i can break free. to do so will give me exactly that - freedom, freedom of mind, body and spirit.
i have noticed many people i know are also passing through this period of change. good friends, stable of spirit and mind, have taken steps that some would see as foolish, foolhardy and stupid. i don't see it that way. i see it as brave, forceful, self confident (even if they don't see it themselves) and downright gutsy. they have taken the step that i have resisted so far, for so long. they have taken that next evolutionary step in their lives, moving from the mundane safe life to the perilous, exciting and ultimately more satisfying life. the bigger brighter universe obi wan kenobi introduces luke skywalker to aboard the mellenium falcon.
i can't help be motivated, and inspired by these people. many of them won't know of whom i speak, but some will. it may come to pass that all will. i salute them, and the impact they have made upon me, the help they have given me (either knowing or unknowingly) their friendship and care. these people have helped me take that next evolutionary step of my own.
so, to business. the Tshirts for Touch of Evil have been designed, though i am not fully happy. I suspect i may never be, but i can live with what we have. i can also change them as i go. i have started to create a buzz, with friends and family ready for the release. website is on the way, but that one scares me a little. once all that is in place, and i have the book in my hot little hands, stage 2 begins. the TV show will be revisited in full, and followed to it's production and conclusion. If there is to be a sequel, time will tell.
in the near future i will be looking for galley quotes (those nice things people say about the book on the back and inside front cover). the cover is next. then just getting it "out there".
the new adventure has begun.
