I write to you from Warner Bros studios where I am currently serving in a long term temp assignment as assistant to a new VP in the television group. I enjoy working here and right now I am actually trying to find a time that is good to jump in and tell my boss that I want to be hired full time. Because it would be nice to be able to finally say, yes, I know where my income comes from and now I can get cracking on the rest of the things I need to be worried about:
Writing spec scripts.
Writing stand-up comedy.
Finding the right person to read or watch one of these things, and say, she needs to EP/showrun her own show. Kabloom, I have an Emmy. Do you all see how much easier things would be if I had a full time job? Also I could pay my bills and avoid prison.
But I miss Boston dearly, more each day. Especially now that things are getting colder and the holidays are approaching and my home is there and my family and the friends I've grown up with and known for years and years and it's so comfortable and safe.
Right now in LA I am feeling a bit out of sorts. Yes, I know, my nickname should be, "Old News", but I don't know. I feel like I left my heart somewhere else because sometimes I feel so mechanical, like I am just trying to get by, trying to do the things that are expected of me, and to stay within a certain expectation so that I don't rock the boat or shake anything up.
I could continue but I'm going to stop. Miss you Boston. A place that is decidedly real.
