A Moment of reflection as I’m a month away from turning 25.
I feel like my plans for the future have changed a lot but also remained consistent if that makes sense lol. I knew I always wanted to be a writer, an author was number one. Spending my days writing novel after novel building an impressive resume. Senior year of high school hit and I took my first screenwriting class and I FELL IN LOVE with it. I already had such a deep love for television and movies, but once I learned the behind the scenes of it all – I knew this was where I was meant to be. In that class I wrote my first television pilot along with my first film script. To this day, I am still very proud of them and one day hope to share them with the world. I still have a deep love for prose, I’m writing my first novel. I’ve been writing this book for YEARS at this point and the plan to publish it is still in the works and hopefully will happen this year (fingers crossed). I’ve taken an interest in the publishing side of writing as well, that process is so detailed and calculated. The amount of creative control that an author has is beautiful. I’ve never done the traditional publishing with an established publishing company, just self publishing where I am in control of every step. Of course the goal is to get in with a company. I see myself becoming an established film maker, the female Ryan Coogler (I saw Sinners and that man is a GENIUS). I also would love to be the next generation Shonda Rhimes and Greg Berlanti creating a television empire. While at the same time releasing a novel every 2-3 years in between film and television projects. It’s very ambitious, I know lol but I truly cannot see myself doing anything else. I hope one day, I can look back on this post after achieving the goals I’ve listed. But until then, I will continue to write my first novel with a deep love for the craft.
