The Life of a Producer/Writer…et al…

I have so many ideas and projects I am working on that when I’m not writing, I’m thinking about writing. My husband says I’m always in my own head, and it’s true. My latest project is on the forefront of my mind, and the worry is there too. All writers worry. Will this sell? Am I doing all this work for nothing? Will all these hours ever pay off? As a producer, you worry even more. Will I ever raise the funds to make this project? If I make this, will I have the funds to market it? Will this film make a profit, so I can keep making films? It’s a constant drumbeat in my head that I have to silence so I can focus. Unfortunately, with the many incidents that happen on a weekly basis, we have been set back tremendously this year. It’s amazing I have any time to do anything other than try and take care of my family. Now, we’re handling this fire. No one expects something like this to happen, and the smoke damage is awful. The smell seeps into everything! We are dealing the best we can, and I start work next week. It’s going to be hard to fit in the time to work on my projects which is heartbreaking for me because even with all the worries writers/producers face, I can never stop writing.
