Batmitzvah's, Barmitzvah's & Stephen King.

What a bland day so far. The cloudy weather isn't helping either. One day down, four more to go.

On Saturday I finally shot my very first event, a Batmitzvah. Man I forgot how much shooting wears you out. It's been almost a year since I've shot anything of significance. I was beat and enjoyed the remainder of my weekend relaxing. To my surprise it dragged major ass. Finally. ---- The montage I've been painstakingly putting together for the past month or so was a hit. Everyone loved it, people asked about, they wanted to know who worked their "magic" creating such a great piece. It felt great to know that I accomplished the task. All I wanted was the family to love it and they did. Oh and yesterday I was offered another "gig", this time a Barmitzvah. I had a feeling this would happen and I'm excited at what else will come my way.

While I write this I figured I'd update everyone on one more thing. I've decided to go back to my roots as a writer. I started off writing short stories and just recently I remember how much I enjoyed doing so. I even want to dust off my old stories and re-write them. I'm already excited just thinking about it. I got inspired after I started reading Stephen King's "On Writing" A Memoir of the Craft. For all my writers out there please GO BUY THIS BOOK! It is an amazing look into how Mr. King came to be the writer he is today and his thoughts on writing in general. Oh and Mr. King if you ever happen to read this, THANK YOU! I needed this book without even knowing it, glad I found it.

One more hour until I clock out. I shall use this time to read, something I seriously need to do more of. Until next time. Peace
