mugwump Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 Is trying to spread yourself too thina bad thing? Perhaps an overly confidentway of trying to do too much and inthe end getting nowhere?Or is ambition and risk takinga good quality to have?I myself have reached a point inmy life where I am presented with multiple possibilitiesin my career(pretty impressive since a few monthsback I had no career anymore..nor the luxury tomake these sort of decisions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugwump Posted December 8 Author Report Share Posted December 8 I humbly accept to meet this person and todayI spent the entire afternoon with a womanthat writes for RAI (An Italian Television network)as well as movies. She read my piece andtold me that I should immediately enroll intoa screen writers class and that she could helpme get a connection at RAI.(they need writers that write in English)...further more she told me that I should give her anything else I have and shewould helpme polish it if she thinks it's goodand shop it around.

mugwump Posted December 8 Author Report Share Posted December 8 I'm shocked..confused and veryflattered! But I'm also torn..because I LOVEANIMATION. I love the world of digital arts andI'd kinda had my heart in taking a MAYA and >SGIclass to sharpen up my 3D skillsand go into the special effect spectrumside of things...THIS however has great potential..(and I too love to write.Like you can't tellby now)And screen writing is really fun.Plus who's to say that in the future I won't ever be able to be involvedin all aspects of a film I write(fuckit Burton started as an animator..sodid Lynch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugwump Posted December 8 Author Report Share Posted December 8 THANKS MAN(I'm writing this all retarded in sectionsBTW cuz CP's screwd up..so bare with me)Am I spreading myselftoo thin here? If I take a screenwriting course will my OTHEr "art" suffer?Is this one of those:"Master of all trades master ofnone" type scenarios?WHAT DO YOU THINK?

heretic909 Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 It can wear you out, but if your heart's into it, you can't argue with that. I'm up to six different aliases now that I DJ/produce under, two more aliases that are just recording projects, plus this pile of remixes that people are still waiting for me to finish for them. Along with that I'm busy with graphic design, web design, and screenprinting my own line of t-shirts. It always seems like there's never enough hours in the day and that not enough gets completed in the end. But you'll never find yourself bored either. I say go for it if you want to do both. Just make sure you focus on getting projects completed so you're not bouncing back and forth between them to the point where nothing gets finished.
