So I did it. I did the unthinkable. I quit my job to write full time.
Many of you are thinking I must be crazy, but it was the right choice to make. I did not move out here to work at Starbucks. Seriously, we have to take risks in our lives. This is our only life, and every moment is a once in a lifetime moment. Seize it, or miss your opportunity.
So I guess that’s the point of this blog. You don’t have to quit your job, but go out there and be dangerous. Persue what you KNOW you are called to with reckless abandon.
There are many of you reading this who THINK you are supposed to write, or believe you WANT to be a screenwriter. If we are honest with ourselves, that would be most of you aspiring scribes reading this right now. If you are included in that majority, don’t be crazy and fly into the face of opposition. If it’s not absolutely, positively, beyond-the-shadow-of-a-doubt your one true calling in your life, it is not worth it for you to risk your life.
Look, within everyone’s heart lies a desire that cannot be stifled. Whoever you are, whatever you are doing with your life, you know you were designed for a purpose. Most of us know what that purpose is, even if we refuse to admit it. Once you realize that purpose, no matter what it is, pursue it with every part of your being. Pursue it until you either grab it or die in the process.
If you don’t, you’re already dead anyway.
I’ll be back in a few days or so to continue my exploration of character. I started writing the post already, but because of work I haven’t had the time to finish it. Now, while I may be writing 8 hours a day (starting a week from Monday), I will still have more free time with which to update this blog. Believe me, you want to hear what I have to say.
