I've been running this blog for eight months. It's helped me with my writing, especially with writer's block, but sadly, it has become sort of a distraction from my other work. Between the novel, three short stories, a few screenplays, a short film, two blogs and scraping money together for either film school or a literature degree, something has to give. Unfortunately I'm making the difficult decision to put Come Back Shane! on hold. It's been a fun eight months and hopefully I will be able to return to this eventually. Thanks to all those who supported the blog.

Do you consider this blog to actually be a distraction from working on other writing projects? I'm coming to a bit of a crossroads in that regard as well - and had been hoping I could actually do both... Maybe not. To be able to balance out the work while still trying to act like a normal human being (video games, friends, family) from the outside looking in might seem daunting, but might be completely fulfilling.
ReplyDeleteIt did sort of become distracting from other things, but I also have another blog as well, so running two blogs might have been the problem.
ReplyDeleteBut, I might have gotten some freelance work out of this because I used some blog posts that IMDb linked to as writing samples, so you never know. A blog can really help out as well.
I love movies, and I love writing, but I think I took on too much writing at once.
We have a friend that was going through the same sort of turmoil when she was writing and producing her movie. The movie never made a huge impact but she followed her dreams and finished it. Good luck to you, if you can dream it, you can do it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything.
