Scared money don't make no money (or sound grammatic structure)

So, the New Year is under way. Although I don’t tend to make resolutions specifically for new year, a major goal is to be more productive creatively. The last couple of years I haven’t been producing really, and what I have produced, I haven’t really put out there. That’s gotta change. So, this year, I’m taking inspiration wherever I can find it. I’m working on a couple of micro projects right now that I want to finish up and submit to this corporate entity; see if maybe my writing can get used.

The other things is, I’m going for the big things moving forward. The places I want to go, people I want to see, and things I want to do—start with how aggressive I try to be in making them happen. I believe that I have a tremendous amount of vision and ability, but it means nothing if I don’t apply it. This means I have to be more focused and disciplined, which I will be this year. I’m gonna get my hustle and flow on by getting a little keyboard to hash out my ideas, although mine will be better than ya boy DJ’s from the movie. That’s part of my tax return money—after I pay off my Mac and sock away a predetermined amount of cash for rainy day/savings--that and a RAM boost to my Mac (yum).

I have to really start sketching out and storyboarding my story concepts, because I’m actually at that phase with a couple of my ideas, I’m just not doing it. I think I might have to Jedi mind-trick myself by doing really crude sketches and storyboards, which will prompt my perfectionist self to get it in gear. Bottom line, I’m a dreamer. However, it’s a waste of time and energy to JUST dream. At some point, you gotta pursue that dream. SO, I’m pursuing that dream, man. If it’s a private island, or the girl that got away…I have to know that I did what I could (within my principles and ethics). Right now, I can’t say that about any of my dreams.

At this point, I feel like I need to take it hard to the paint, because I’m not getting any younger and I’m starting to feel like I really want a family. This means I need to start putting things in place quickly, or really consider grad school as the next step. I also feel like I can relate to The Little Red Hen, and right now I’m baking up some lovely shit.

Let’s get it.
