Entry 14

Okay,
It has been quiet long enough, so here we go with a few new updates.
I wished this would only be positive news, but I really should post the ups and downs of the whole experience, so I can recall it all.

Firstly, I spoke to an old teacher of mine, who is a vocal director, and he expressed interest. I haven’t told him much about the project yet, but hopefully once I do he’ll be fully on board. I don’t know how much cartoon directing experience he’s had, but I’m sure he’s great.

Secondly, I had a meeting with Jon, and I was informed, that because I don’t have any writing credits under my belt, I’m not going to be taken seriously. He is right. I need to buck up and get this pitch to be perfect. The rectification of this is that I need to get 3 Writing Executive Producers to be on board. Who will all read the script and help me edit it. The issue is that they need to be people I trust 100%, and they have to have proper credits under their belt. I just have to make sure that the show doesn’t get stolen.

The show idea is great, but if I’m not protected, I’ll just get fired, and have the show stolen from me. It’s a nice wakeup call. I feel as though I’ve fallen back a few steps though. Finding credited writers is tough enough, but I have to trust them to not steal from me... that seems near impossible.
I have one, Elley-Ray, and she agreed to let me put her name on the project. (G-d bless her!!!!)
And I think I have an idea for the other two, we’ll just have to wait and see.

So it’s not really bad news, but a wakeup call.

Thirdly, Jon and I will be reviewing pitching techniques later in the week, and all that jazz to prepare me for an upcoming meeting.

Lastly, I’ve let this faze me a bit, but not for long. I can do this!!!!
