New Year, New Book, More FILM & INK Blog

January 1, 2017 by Deb

Welcome to the new year!

Now, last year I wanted to blog more, to connect more, to do more. Well I certainly accomplished a lot: I wrote a couple of books (one set for publication in 2017), worked full time, took courses for my Masters of Creative Writing, and a bunch of etcetera.

What I didn’t do so well last year on was work-life balance.

I, therefore, start this year with some self-forgiveness. I do plan to blog more and connect more, but I also don’t expect myself to be super-human either. If I miss a planned post here and there, that will be okay. Know that I’m still here, but am probably wickedly busy.

The plan so far: for my FILM & INK blog, I’ll be writing for and about the FILM (and TV) industry, as well as posts about writing (the INK)… and FILM still stands for:

F-un

I-nspiration

L-ife

M-anagement
(of a production or your career)

 

So, here’s looking forward to the new year, more blogging fun and to my new book “Write! Shoot! Edit!” (a book for teens to make their first scripted movies).

All the best for the new year to you!
Deb
