Slow start to the new year
I haven’t been posting on here as often as I had planned. The new year hasn’t started out as well as I had hoped for so I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to get things moving in the right direction.
I’ve been away from the development industry for too long and I really miss it. I thought that trying something new would be a positive experience but after three years of “trying something new” I find that I’m just spinning my wheels. It’s time to get back to the work I love and something that I have passion for.
I think today I’m going to start my transition back to the development side of things. I don’t expect it to happen overnight but I expect that even the smallest steps will have a big impact on my mood at this point. I want to create. I want to create in games and film. I’ve learned an important lesson about being “realistic.” It’s that fastest way to get nowhere.
I’ve already started on a game design document to get me back into the swing of things, something I’m really excited about. I’ve also got a few scraps of movie scripts on the computer that need to get completed. I just want to create and I’m tired of not doing the things I love.
If I can give one piece of humble advice to anyone who has a dream…please don’t let other people talk you into doing something safe and comfortable over chasing your dream. It will come back to bite you in the ass.
