Humps in the Road

Feeling creatively stuck today.
How is this possible with such a fun topic?

For starters, I am a person of extremes -- extreme highs that make way for extreme lows... I like to refer to it as being "intense".

This 'booty' doc has been in my thoughts, whirling around and trying to shape itself for almost 1 1/2 years now. That is a LOT of time to devote a good chunk of your brain to a story...time spent considering the angles, weighing the different options and imagining the storyline while commuting, drifting off to sleep, browsing the internet, even while out with friends.... A lot of energy and focus for a project still in "development".

Lately, I've been soothing my mind by imagining myself years down the line, relishing in the dream that one day I might be better positioned to just pick up a camera and SHOOT something I find fascinating. No disruptions or roadblocks to the natural flow of the creative stream of consciousness... I could do this now... but feel I should be patient, and learn and grow a bit first.

My current fear is if this project ends up taking 2 years of my life, how do I become more than the woman who did the documentary on asses? It will certainly be hard to surpass this one ... and yet, on a positive note, it will clearly establish to a wider audience my style, approach, and goals.

The first day of shooting on this one will be like the opening of floodgates, I'm certain.... and I can't wait!
