Creativity is Messy, but Worth Everything in the World

Recently my creative life has had some major malfunctions. A lot of that having to do with not balancing my priorities and tasks straight, but most importantly, not dedicating enough time to create things.

Sometimes in life, it seems and if we are running on a treadmill - not going anywhere. For me, that's what my life is feeling like right about now.

I know, I know, I've been very blessed to have the opportunities I have had this year: promotion, corporate, wedding, feature, and television work. I'm very happy and grateful for all the opportunities that I have been giving my first year out of undergrad. But do you ever feel like that isn't enough? I guess you can say that's what I'm going through.

I mean, why shouldn't I be grateful when I cut together something like this...

I'm going to call this rut I'm in a creative plateau, where you're not exactly improving and you're not exactly getting worse.

So here is what I want to do...I'm thinking of challenging myself to create more things, but not only am I going to do that and write about it on my blog (which I should have been doing - shame on me) but I'm going to force myself to engage the film community.

Thus, I decided to try out a networking event for Women in Film and Media Colorado. I feel hopeful that engaging like minded women, and possibly joining as a membership will help me understand who I am as a female filmmaker and give me tools to look for the right opportunities for a minority group in the film industry.

To my extremely few readers, I'm glad you're here and going through life with me. I will make more of an effort to share some of my experiences with the community of friends and collegues.

Have an amazing day!
