Hard to believe I started this blog almost 2 years ago and have only made 70 posts, with this one being the 70th.  It’s not a nice, round number like 100 that rolls off the tongue, but I’ll take it.

Originally I started this blog with the intention of documenting my first produced movie The Cursed and everything that it entailed.  Then I realized that there was a lot more that I wanted to write about, such as the massive 1900-word post just below this one about the Gamer’s Bill of Rights.

It’s become much more all-encompassing of my thoughts as I go through life now.  Writing the book took a lot of time away from here for several months, but I still posted the odd thought here and there to keep it alive.  Then I noticed that February 2009 had quite a large number of postings, sometimes two or more a day, and not exactly trivial in some cases. It’s as if I were running back here wanting to put things up that I thought everyone else that reads this might find interesting.

You would almost think I’m trying to go for some kind of triple crown here: a movie, a book, and a forthcoming video game.  As much as I’d like that, doing the game is going to take a lot more time and effort, especially if I’m doing it all by myself.

And on the flipside, I still have a few sites that need some updating.  Namely MoviePartners and Screenwriter’s Utopia.  SU will be getting a massive overhaul from the ground up for the rather large community there (13,652 members as of Tuesday night.)  I honestly want to make that site extremely powerful and easy-to-use, not to mention fun.  Which will require me ripping the guts out and rewriting quite a number of things.

Of course I still have to eat too, which means I’ll have to also drag out this one piece of software I’ve been developing in private for the past few years, sell it at a reasonable price, and hope that enough people buy it to help pay the bills.  More on that later.

The book will also have a complementary site as well, which I will build myself.  For now the only sure thing is that there will be a blog on there documenting book-related things, plus a special section that ties into the “super secret pay software project.”

So there’s a lot of things on the horizon.  And yes, I’d like to take a day off, but in a self-run business, you don’t get that luxury until much later, if at all.  I kinda like it though; long hours of programming work, design, implementation, and so on.  But no boss telling me what to do, work from the home office in a comfortable environment, and keep plugging away.

And maybe sometime along the way I’ll get to 100 posts soon.
