I deviated a bit from my scheduled work agenda. Since there was
no shooting for today, I just worked on whatever was pressing. I
decided to place some items on the studio store. I don't do Holidays,
so I forgot about the time. So I just finished an item for Blood
Kiss with the posters from the premieres for one side and the remastering
as Blood Kiss Soul of a Woman on the other side. Have some good
news on the movie, but I have to finalize it.
And my chess buddy DM asked about "DareU." I am working
on incorporating one of my talent into it as an assassin for Juston
Ivory. I know, none of that makes sense unless you know something
about the story. Well, I also have some new clips I might put on
the site. I am late with the video dub for Lisa. I will just send
her the stuff she was in. Need to buy some tapes. I am also way
way late with dubs for two other actresses (Heather and Nicole from
the SHIP). I really have to get that new hard drive to store more
footage.
Have to spend a day this week just catching up on old stuff. Especially
before the end of the year, I have to make sure decisions about
what to loose for 2003 and what to focus on for 2003.
And back to business. The year will be over soon and I have to
reevaluate everything that has went on and decide what to focus
on for 2003. So far, I have managed to do a lot jumping back and
forth through projects. True, it means some things get out later
than they should, but p2c is not relying on any one project to make
its name.
IC has been a time consuming venture and yet I only regret that
I didn't get more help with it. I think it has done fine. Got about
140 people on the email list and going to implement a few programs
starting this Spring. OK, here goes the diplomacy. Another group
sprang up and I thought I would try to combine IC with them, but
I didn't hear from them so I am just moving ahead with IC and its
agenda. I wish them well, but directly being affliated with them
wouldn't work for right now. They are still in the establishment
phase and I have moved past that with IC. it is always best to move
forward instead of backwards. If they need help, I will help them,
but for now I'll keep IC seperate.
Anyway, although IC does take time away from p2c, I think it is
a good community thing. I want to build it up so that people can
benefit. I was talking to someone else earlier and said, I think
one of the best ways to stay in this business is to help others.
It helps me by having IC out there helping others. Some people don't
like to help others because of their egos, but with a few exceptions,
I don't mind helping out anyone.
True all artists have egos, but some of us have more self confidence
than egos. Let me explain. If you are primarily ego driven, you
won't work hard at your craft cause you already believe you are
great and you will cut other people's throats because deep down
inside you are insecure and believe that someone else's success
will lessen the chances for you. If you are more driven by self
confidence, you will still have a bit of arrogancy, but you don't
mind helping because it makes you look good and you know you will
still be successful regardless of what others do. Also you will
work harder becasue you know you need to constantly prove you as
good as you think you are. I believe I am more self-confident than
ego driven.
With that said, right now, I have to go back to work.
