Watchers

I've been practicing my pitch, and I stutter just about every time. I feel like I'm stuck in the movie The King's Speech. Never was good at talking. Since English is not a "visual" language, I'll never  master it...and I have tried. Oh well, I don't want to make a fool out of myself, but I'm getting use to it, especially since my kickstarter project was a miserable failure -- 4% funded despite all my efforts.

What's on my mind? It is less than a week before I go to Hollywood to pitch my book. Am I ready? No. Am I confident? No. Am I nervous? Yes...I'll probably fail...again. Do I expect to get a deal? No. Then why are you going? I'm going because I told people I was going. What else am I to do? I'm cursed with many talents. Would it be a sin not to use, or at least try to use them? I think so.

Wish me luck...I'll let you know how I do.

It does not matter whether you succeed or fail. What matter is that you try.

Jeff Wade

United States
I am a computer tech who has been pursuing a professional writer career for more than eight years. Why change professions? To know the answer to that question, you must know that I am very passionate about intellectual TV, Film, and books. In other words, something that provokes thought or teaches morals. This was before TV reality shows flooded the airwaves. Back then, it was easy to escape from reality. Now, I and many others like me must turn off the TV to escape and that is sad. Upset about this fact, I decided to do something about it, rather than complaining about it. After all, I do live in the United States of America; therefore, I have the opportunity to bring the TV, film, and book industry not only a profit, but also a positive impact, which will hopefully place a little art back into the industry.

Since I’m a writer who is striving to turn professional, I’ve tried working full time while writing in my spare time, but it didn’t work out; I needed more time. I tried working part time, but again I needed more time. Frustrated from my lack of progress, I begin writing full time by exhausting my savings and sacrificing my credit. Then, knowing that I was about to lose my house, I gave it up by signing it over to my cousin. Thereafter, I sold all of my furniture in a garage sale along with my car.

Now, having stated that, you must think that I have lost everything. That maybe true from your point of view but not from mine. No one forced me to quit my job, sell my house, furniture, or car. I made the decision to give it up myself, and I don’t blame the president or government for my mishaps nor do I regret any of my past decisions. And I do not need or want your pity.

Although I've sacrificed material objects, I haven't sacrificed my honor or respect for others and frankly, I would rather die than do so. Sometimes a person must give up material things in order to receive blessings from God.

I know I'm going to succeed...I just don't know when.

I'm still scheduled to pitch my ten year novel at Hollywood Jun 2, but I don't expect a deal. I just expect to get their attention.
