Whew!
I am exhausted! I’ve nearly wrapped up my current tech-writing gig. Meanwhile, I’ve been busy in pre-production for the documentary: researching, reading, learning to use all this new video gear. (video is so different than still photography: strange element called Time to it) And, if that weren’t enough, I’m busy planning a trip to europe (important tip: when travelling to Venice, book far earlier than 2 weeks ahead; the place fills up quickly).
What’s cool is that none of this feels like “work”. When I have a few idle moments, I thumb through books on making docs, or pick up the video camera and try some knob I’ve not used. I don’t feel the dread of working out of obligation. It feels more like goofing off. I guess my passtime has become my occupation. The only downside is that when I want to take a break from writing & pre-production (because I’m exhausted), the only thing I want to do is writing and pre-production. Luckily, I have friends who have dragged me out of the house from time to time. Guess that’s what friends are for.
