14 Feb 2009 I’ll find you, my love

“It is obvious why you can’t take any time off– you were born to this work.”

In romance movies, often the protagonist will search high and low for the love of her life, and towards the end, she’ll find that she’s been looking in vain. He’s been there all along. The guy next door. The best friend. She was looking for love in all the wrong places, while he was right in front of her.

Over the last several months, I’ve tried several new things, creatively speaking. I tried video and photography. I tried audio and script. I tried multimedia and new technologies. But my love, my true love, has been right in front of me all along.

When it comes down to it, when given a choice, when everything is stripped away but the core, there’s only one thing I am and one thing I love.

I’m a writer. Maybe it’s time I stopped trying to change that.
