And So it begins

The first post to the blog is probably the hardest to come up with. Like a film's first scene, the first post sets a tone for the blog. Either that or the next, most current, edition does. Anyway... I decided to start this blog when I realized that it would probably help my writing. You see; I'm a writer. Now doesn't that just sound odd? No, I'm not a writer. 


Not a successful one anyway.


That sounds harsh... I don't make money off of my writing... That sounds better.


And it's not because I choose not to. Trust me, any writer you find that says that they only write for the readers, what they really mean is: "I can't find a reader that's interested in my stuff long enough to invest their money into it." I love to write, I've always have since I could begin to read. I'm an unsuccessful writer because I have lost my inspiration to write. 
I'm nine chapters away from finishing my first novel titled; 'War's Fury". Sounds horrible doesn't it? It gets better... I think.
Everything is in my head! I know exactly what happens and as soon as I can get the will to write; I'll finish it and send it off to a publisher (If they'll take me). 


I also have another passion. I love films! NOT LOVE FILMS, like porn. I mean I love to watch movies. NOT PORN, you pervert. Stop thinking about porn! 
I recently graduated from Mohawk College, in Hamilton, for Television Broadcasting and I am slowly trying to trudge my way to making films one day. Until then, I see a movie almost every week. I try to see every movie that comes out, but we can't all be millionaires. popcorn is expensive.
Everytime I see a movie, I'll post my five favourite up on the side here. The last movie I saw was INCEPTION. More on that later...


I work as a video editor right now, using After Effects and Final Cut so I have the skills needed, and the knowledge, but I just need to work my way up, you know? Of course you do.
