publish a book of poetry, write a play, film a short

I “took” a creative writing class this fall- by took I mean enrolled in, and was a great student for the first month of class and then slowly stopped turning in work although I was checking the assignments saying… wow that is a really great project!

The class was lots of fun and VERY inspiring. I began a novel, a play and attempted poetry again. Huge deal!

But I have a non-fiction project in the works…. I’ve created a concept for my chap book (graphic novel), and although I have no sublect or story for a short I do have 2 documentaries I want to shoot so… I’m further along that I was before… and TODAY is the perfect canvas!

I need motivation and stimulation… great jazz musicians used drugs usually heroin… that’s not a viable choice so I’m looking for inspiration.

All of my goals seem to be tied together… go to more open mics/plays/indie film festivals, meet new people (a muse maybe?), go to writing/film workshops, meet people who need creative services…

Applying for a famed writing workshop this summer. Going to take a poetry course in school during fall semester. Since I can’t seem to make moves without some sort of guide and an outside force I’ll just make sure such a force is always around.

I’ve lost my muse because she turned out to be a stalker… but the beautiful part is she taught me to be my own muse. So, though I miss the long conversations we had simply sharing our work and inspiring each other… I am learning to seek inspiration from other sources. This whole writing as a career thing requires so much focus and dedication… sometimes it takes the joy out of the art having to thing about it as work… but the whole “Bri having enuf (good) work to make a book” is coming along slowly but surely.
