Must I really facebook, blog and twitter?
Can’t one social media platform capture everything I need to say? I’m from a family of journalers--journaling runs in my DNA. I’ve kept a journal since I was 8. Over the years, the journals progressed into computer entries. At times, I’d be writing over several different journals at one time, journals are like books--depending on the mood of the moment.
I have noticed a theme over the multiple decades of journaling, I have a habit of turning to my journal when I need to work through a tough time. Complain, down right bitch, and at times feel down right sorry for myself. I rarely write when life is good, when the cup runneth over and all is right with the world. I’ve often feared if anyone sat down and read all my entries they might get the impression I was a really miserable person.
So, in an effort to get over my resistance having to not only facebook but now also tweet and blog, what an opportunity to take my journaling heritage and document not only the bad and ugly but also some of the kick ass cool things happening in my life. There seems to be plenty of that going around with a rip roaring new business on the forefront.
A wise person once shared, you know you are doing the right thing when the river carries you. I’ve felt my entire filmmaking career I was paddling up stream. I finally get it.
Now my fear will be, someone will read my blog and think, damn, that girls got it good.
Perhaps, I should just stop worrying about what people will think.
Get ready for the good, the bad and whatever the seeming reality of the moment is. All in the name of storytelling and social media.
