Tomorrow is April. Today is March. I hope that I will have some sort of plan soon as to what to do with my life. I know that it will not include a traditional job since I am unable to find one, but I am hopeful about what that means. I see opportunity. The only thing I need to do is figure out what to do.

Thursday. Soon it will be April.

I wonder why it's so difficult to find a career. I submit to job openings that would be ideal for me and never hear back. I know that most of these are in other states but that should not be an issue since I am very willing to relocate and companies hire people from other states all of the time (or is it just here?) because I see so many people here come from other states for work.

I might look up places to submit short screenplays, for free, and see if that's a viable option. I do not believe that I will find a career by submitting to jobs. I will have to keep writing and maybe attempt to produce video again. I hope to get back to doing photography. I hope to either win a house from HGTV or enough money to buy a tiny home. I have been going through my stuff. I have things that I want to sell. I hope to get rid off what I do not need.

So, I forgot to post yesterday. This is the second time I've forgotten since writing a daily blog. I actually have three blogs. Most of the time I post different things on all three blogs. Today. Monday. What to do?

Final Edit (Imagine Dragons)

Hello. I submitted to a few job openings this week. I have no expectations of actually finding a career anytime soon. What will I do now? I hope to do some photography so that I can remove all of the photography from my web site and replace them with new photography. Maybe, I will be able to do some web series to submit to a festival. I am not certain what I will do this year.

I have written and submitted a shorter screenplay to the contest. I hope to finish the screenplay but I knew that I would not be able to finish it before today. I submitted the script and a summary of what the show will be about. I have posted the final edit of the video I edited for the Imagine Dragons - Adobe - Make the Cut contest . I posted it on Youtube so that I can submit it to editing jobs as my reel since it's the one thing I have that I have edited. I have edited other stuff in the past but no longer have those things. I still want to write for television, but as always, I am open and interested in video editing and other areas of filmmaking, photography, writing, television production, etc.

Today. What shall I do today? Write. I have until tomorrow to submit a screenplay and other material for a contest. I have been working hard on an outline and have written some on the screenplay. I hope to finish it today.

Last night was crazy. There was a storm. The wind was so fierce that it sounded almost like a tornado. Today, I will continue working on the screenplay submission.

Have you followed me on Twitter and Instagram? If not please follow me: @jason29171 Thanks!

Today I made some progress on the screenplay. I mean my outline for the screenplay and the series and first season. I will include all of this information and the screenplay when I submit to the contest. I am close to a final edit of the music video that I will submit to the other contest. I have until the beginning of next month for this one so now I will focus on the screenplay since that is due this week.

I am hopeful. I hope to write a screenplay and finish it by the 24th of this month so that I can submit it to a contest.  I will submit the music video I am editing to the contest soon.

Hello. I have a deadline and need to get to work on a screenplay that I will submit to a contest next week. I will submit the music video that I am editing next week as well. I am very hopeful about this year. I have submitted to a few programs and contests this year.

Today I will be busy. I will work on editing a video and writing a script for contests. Maybe I will waste some time and submit to job openings?

I wonder if it's a waste of time to submit to job openings. There is a posting at the library concerning a job fair but looking at the companies that will be present I do not believe it will be worth attending but I might go just to have something to do. My goal is to become a television writer. I want to write for one-hour or half-hour shows, drama or comedy, and maybe become a showrunner. My focus is this goal and anything that does not lead to this goal is not as important at the moment.

Today is my birthday. I have decided to do one blog. I will post it on all three blogs. Today I am going to Denny's and Firehouse Subs. I'm not sure what else I will do. I have no plans besides those above.  Tomorrow is a book group at the library in the morning. I have some plans tomorrow but nothing special.

So, I heard back about a job I applied for. They want more information about myself. I won't post the details but I am going to look at the e-mail now and begin working on a response. Today I made some progress on the idea that I will submit before the end of this month. Hope?!

Not regret but a wonder of why so young did it happen to me... 8 or 9 I was he was older as I recall, maybe it shouldn't have been but it was no denying this truth...

Yesterday I found a document listing most of the DVDs I had that were stolen from me. It would be great to replace them. It would be nice to replace the books I had as well but I do not have a list of the books. I had so much stolen from me. 

I am in the process of working on an idea to submit. It will be an idea I had before but changed.  I will need to finish before the end of this month. What will I do? I could attempt to produce some web series which I can submit to for free. I will need actors, crew and locations. The order I placed on Zumiez.com will arrive today: 2 pairs of shoes, on shirt and one pair of pants. I hope to be more productive today than I was yesterday.

Hello. Thank you for visiting. I am considering what to photograph. I will do some photography soon and I plan to have all new photography on my web site. 

Hello. Welcome. If you are reading this you are one of the few. I hope you will continue to read my blog. Be sure to check out my other blogs found on my photography website. Please share.

what am I waiting for? A career? A place to live? A relationship? I am not doing too much these days except waiting. I do some writing. I have done some photography and video. I read. I am a member of 3 book groups at the local library. I apply to job openings but have not had an interview in so long. I know that I will have to move for a first career. I cannot live in a rural state and have a career. I guess I could become a novel writer and it would not matter.

I have no idea what I will do. The only thing I can do is keep going forward. I will keep submitting to job openings. I will write, do photography, maybe some video, and organize my stuff so that I am ready for whatever may come next.

I began writing this tonight, this is what I have so far: CHAPTER 1 A storm wakes me. I find myself longing for the dream. A constant companion of mine these days. This dream is all that remains from a time before. Before what? Something that now lingers in the back of my mind like someone you met only once and are now trying to remember again. In my dream I’m not alone. In my dream I am younger. Everything is, in my dream, as it once was and shadows of things gone remain in these vivid flashes of augmented memory. I stretch. The sleeping bag restricts me. A moment ago it was a comfort. Now, it’s a cocoon that I must emerge from. The zipper is tough to move at first but it finally gives, allowing me to free myself, and I stand fully awake. My clothes are where I placed them before going to bed, neatly folded, neatly placed, on a desk nearby. I think of the first few nights sleeping without my clothes, after realizing my clothes would remain clean or as close to clean as possible, and t...

I keep considering what to do in life. My hope is that I will make the right decisions. What do I want to to do? Television writer. Travel. What will I do?

I forgot to post yesterday. I want to travel. I hate being stuck in the middle of nowhere. I need to move. I need a first career. 

March. The month of my birthday. 2017. I have hope that this year will be an amazing year.

I have some money now and I should have more (from a sweepstakes) soon. I was thinking about investing in more photography and video equipment. I was thinking I would begin producing more video including web series. Now, however, I do not believe I will be producing any video for now.  Sometimes I get stuck. I have things that I could be doing but I become so focused on trying to figure out what to do next that I do not do what I can do now. I also get depressed and in these moments of depression I no longer want to do anything. It's March. My birthday is the 15th. I feel hopeful but doubtful at the same time. Will this be the year that I finally have a career? Will I get into the writing program that I just submitted to? Will I be able to purchase a tiny house (and a truck to tow it with) and travel the country doing photography and videos? Will I meet someone that I will one day marry?

My birthday is March 15. If you are reading this and would like to send me a gift let me know. Not that I am expecting anyone to want to send me a gift. You can help me achieve my goal of buying a tiny house and a truck to move the tiny house as I travel. I do not know if I will celebrate my birthday. I have not celebrated my birthday since I was a small child. I have never had anyone since then to throw me a birthday party. Not that I would not like a birthday party. I hope that this birthday will be different. I hope that this year will be different. I hope that it will be better.

I am excited about the possibilities. I have submitted to two different writing programs, writing opportunities, and I have upgraded Final Draft which has some amazing features that were very helpful while writing the spec for the one writing program. I will begin to write more screenplays starting today. I do not know what I will do after I write the scripts but I will write them nonetheless.
