Acting Without the Drama

June 22, 2009.  Last year, right around this time, there were a whole bunch of things that we were hoping would happen.  We were on pins and needles, waiting for our dreams to come true.

And here we are again.

Except that it’s completely different.

Last year, we were hoping to get funding for our company.  There was a firm in London that was looking for an American business (probably with the intent of acquiring the company in the long run), and the numbers were large.  Quite large.

This year, we’ve worked hard, using all the contacts we have, putting packages together for books, television projects and feature films.  Some of those projects are getting closer.  One of them looks to be almost done.

Oh, the other major difference is that there’s not really any waiting.  Before it was always, “Well, when the money comes in.”  It became almost a mantra.  When the money comes in.  When the money comes in.  When the ??!!***&(@#$))!!! money comes in.

Sure, we want things to progress quickly this year.  But not too quickly.  We have a lot to do.  I mean A LOT!

So, while things feel very similar to last year, there is a textural difference this time around.  Whether that means financial successes remains to be seen, but the emotional successes are, for me, quite clear.

I’m so very happy to be where I am right now.
