Just a little numb

After working all week to get two scenes in the can and ready for viewing AND after posting, re-posting, finding more clever ways of sending links and did I mention posting?  I'm wanting to step back for a moment.  I received an email from Liz, as you know, but I really feel like this time is the best time to reach out to Meryl's people, the industry and various talk shows.  I mean if not at the halfway point, then when?

When I met with Julie to also discuss promotion she requested a list from me.  She wanted the contact info for all of the people in the industry that I'd love to work with and I was to send that to her when I could.  Well, I've sort of got a list.  I know a tiny bit about how to contact some of these people and I'm like a zombie.

I need an infusion of energy!  Something exciting needs to happen to take me to the next level of driven.  Somehow I thought that the midpoint would feel different, I guess.  I might be just a bit shocked for many reasons. When I stop and think about it truly, which is a rarity, it is kind of amazing how many scenes have been completed and what great work everyone is doing.  I had ideas that this would blow up in a different way too.  The outpouring of love from everyone is also very surprising.  I cannot believe the support and the unexpected places from which it has come.

Yesterday, I met with a marketing friend who is an amazing person.  He really thinks this blog should be turned into a book and of course a lot of the work is already done, right?  Sounds good to me.  I would definitely need to do some rewrites and put energy towards it but perhaps after a nap or 300, I can jump on it.  I do think that this experience should be shared somehow whether it's a movie, book or motivational speech, there's something to learn here.  I outta know.  My brain is nearly fried with all of what I've absorbed so far.

Well, here's my M scene, if you haven't seen it.  Hope it makes you smile.  This whole project, experience, learning adventure makes me laugh, cry, and all the emotions in between.
