I think inevitably every person who creates arts for a living - painter, writer, actor, dancer, etc. - compares themselves to other creatives. It’s a part of maturing as an artist, I guess. Everyone knows it’s not healthy to compare your successes to that of another’s, but we do it anyway - and if someone say’s they’re not; they’re lying. In contemporary society, comparing oneself to others is just a part of the human experience.

This year I want to do something a bit different with my blog and write a post every Sunday where I reflect on my accomplishments for the week that was and preview the upcoming week; adding, what my goals/major tasks are that I’d like to accomplish in the week ahead.

Gotta admit, it’s been damn tough to string coherent sentences together since last night’s attempted coup. Somehow I was able to muster up a bit of focus and work on my new pilot about a loner teenager who reluctantly starts a punk band to save his dad from dying. I’ve got a long way to go, but I’m chipping away at it everyday.

I never thought I would live to see the American people storm the Capitol building and desecrate public property with such ignorance and unrestrained contempt for America’s traditions and values - however flawed they may be.

Seth Godin wrote a post on his blog (Seth’s Blog) the other day about investing in infrastructure so that the future of a community (and by extension - YOU) can protect itself from the inevitable changes that the future holds.
