Dear Daniel,
I heard back from Gary Baddeley and TDC.
It’s a no go on distribution through them. Which frankly to even be considered
by them was incredible. But I have been given advice by two people now that I
have tremendous respect for. Tour, speak of your experiences, screen your film
that way. Sell your books Letters to Daniel Volumes 1 and 2.
All I’m waiting for now is the
introduction from Tony Acree. I already have one from Susan H. Roddey. They
were kind to do so. FILM-COM taught me a lot. Made me some invaluable
connections. Garnered a mentor. Figured out how to distribute Letters to Daniel
and to grow it organically.
Right now I’m having a hard time
concentrating. My mom is in the hospital and has been for the last week. She
has an abcess in her colon and has to have a bowel resection six weeks from now.
It’s been hard on this end. I want her well and home. I miss her. I don’t know
what I’d do without her. She isn’t my main source of support but her and dad
are right up there on the list.
Here’s the irony, dad has to have knee
replacement surgery next week. I
believe in Western traditional medicine. But I also believe that surgeons are
quick to cut. I know both of my parents need this surgery but it also terrifies
me. I’ll have no one to depend on with the exception of Missy and Pam if
something happens to them.
I mean, I have sisters, but neither of
them are dependable on a consistent basis. And my aunts and uncle who are
wonderful will be swimming in the deep end too since my mom and dad help them
on a regular basis too.
So my creative efforts are struggling. I
feel like Land of Fire and Ash is slipping away and staying focused on my web
series is hard. But I’m determined to do so.
That and Con season is in full swing! I’m
anxiously awaiting the results of the Fright Night Film Festival Screenplay
competition results in two categories and I have spread planned at Imaginarium.
And to all the awards I’m going to be receiving at Indie Gathering all on top
of my parents health issues seems to be conspiring to keep me from being able
to write the way I want to.
Of course, sometimes blogging unstops
me. Makes working on the other projects
easier. Makes me raring to go on all the other things I’m juggling seem like butter
to work on. Like since I’ve talked to my silent witness and confessed my fears
and insecurities they up and vanished making me brave once more to charge
headlong into the fray.
I’ve been called a force of nature by
some individuals, just plain crazy by others, or even just a plain pain in the
ass by some. Whatever you call me don’t call me finished because in the
creative world I’m not nearly done.
Sincerely,
