dear future me:
i sold a show to a cable network and it’s in development. i’m pretty sure this time last year i was unemployed looking for a job that didn’t steal my soul.
tomorrow i’m pitching a different show to another network, and for the next month or so i’ve been invited to attend development meetings with senior staff and offer feedback regarding upcoming projects that i have no business offering my two cents on.
i’m excited, but also ashamed at how close i came to missing out on these opportunities because of fear.
i wanted to offer this advice to future me (me of the future?): cut the shit with all the self-doubting dramatics. seriously, just hurry up and fail because you will fail — but sometimes you won’t. and wouldn’t that be exciting.
