It has been a very long time since I blogged on this blog. Mostly because I forgot but also just because so much has gone on.
We continued to work in a large group toward figuring out our first episode for Red Hook. It was tiring and arduous and, at times, extremely aggravating. A few times I felt like there might even be arguments with other cohorts. Then, in a quick and strange moment, it went from one large group to two. I wasn't quite sure how the group split was going to be but then out of nowhere Norm told us to name our groups. I figured the groups would actually be random but then he just told us to name them. So Group One did, quit quickly. Then our group did. It was fats and before I knew it we were Group One (The Raiders) and Group Two (The Avengers). And they were Episode One and we were Episode Two.
We were so excited, my group. Which consisted of Me, Jorge, Susan, Amber, Angel, Nanette, Addie, Josh, Brandon, Kris, and Dapo. And right away we began to work on what our second episode would be. The sky was the limit. We knew we didn't have to be exactly after episode one, we could do different things while still keeping continuity, it was so exciting and limitless. We came up with a lot of decisions, ones we liked. I'd say our only problem was we had too many ideas. I realize that sounds idiotic but it felt right. We barely even had trouble as a group. There were arguments and disagreements but we never really fought or were mean. We always decided what was best for the group. I doubt everyone was happy but I like ot think if there were real issues people would have spoken up. I like to think.
We worked hard on our second episode, splitting into four groups which we would then combine. And in a matter of two weeks we managed to get four rough drafts done on our episode. And then we learned that all our work would be scrapped and that our group was most likely operating int he wrong fashion. Cest la vie.
We'll be heading into our intensive soon. That consists of us working on-stop, all day, for one straight week. It will be, you guessed it, intense. I need to move fast, though. The LIU Health Suite is the only thing standing between me and registration and I need to do that. I also need a place to stay for that one week. But I'll get it done. Nothing will stand between me and my resolutions.
One: Keep up with my writing.
Two: Do my writing resume and be a more professional writer.
Three: This is a secret resolution. Wouldn't you like to know.
