  My first post on my new weblog. I started Fat Girl Films last month....well, I've had the production company for a number of months but I'm just starting to do something with it. It has also undergone a few name changes as of late. I finally decided on fat girl films because it's funny, cute and gets attention.....hmm, sounds just like me...exactly!
I'm working a couple of short film scripts which will go into production in the next few weeks. I am very excited and extremely nervous about this. I also purchased a new 12 in. PowerBook G4 with SuperDrive....You gotta mention the SuperDrive just to let folks know that you spent a little extra cash. I would have loved to get the 15 in. but the pocketbook was already starting to feel the strain of the 12in but hell, you gotta have the SuperDrive. I have great eye sight and I can easily hook this sucker up to a larger screen if need be. I so love this little laptop. I totally changed platforms. I used to own a Dell Inspiron 2600.....really great computer but there was always a little something off about it, like it wasn't meant for me but this PowerBook is totally me and I plan to do great things with it. My creative juices are really starting to flow and I'm starting to feel so confident about this new direction my life is taking.
I've always known that I was supposed to do something where I get to be creative. I've tried singing, dancing, acting and even dabbled in graphic arts which I still love but this filmmaking thing is the cat's meow.....totally me. I am also a writer. I wrote a wonderful novel a couple of years back that I have yet to publish. I will probably wind up doing self-publishing...it's more my speed. I'm a writer from way back and I've always written poetry...got into short stories then finally got the courage to do the novel. It took me approximately 6 months(3-4 days a week in the barnes and noble cafe). I would go into the cafe, order a frappuccino or hot tea....sit in my little corner and get to writing.
Oh, it felt so good...I miss doing that....it was a great time in my life....that's kind of why I know I'm going in the right direction because I love to write, I love being bossy so I'm perfect for directing and producing....lol! Anyway, I've yapped for long enough tonight....laters!
