What if...? #22

My apologies for this coming out on Tuesday instead of the regular Monday morning post.  I was having some great family time during the holiday weekend and blogging had to take a back seat.

You know how much I love Wired magazine.  After reading the cover article of the June edition, I was inspired.  Not by the technology needed to film Speilberg's new film, War of the Worlds, no; I was inspired by this sentence in the 3rd paragraph of the article:

It's day 69 of the 72-day shoot for War of the Worlds, Spielberg's interpretation of the classic H. G. Wells alien-invasion tale.

72 days to film the entire movie.  From start to finish, the movie took 10 months to complete.  Normally, these big screen, "blockbusters" can take years to complete.  If you read a few more lines down the paragraph, you see that Cruise and Speilberg had a window of opportunity on their schedules to work together and 'they decided to go for it'.

What if you could do it?

Only you knows what "it" is.  That nagging project.  The book you have been meaning to write.  The  project that has been really needing to get done.  The idea that you really want to flush out.

Seriously, what are you putting off because you don't have "time" to get it done?  Don't wait for the "right time".  If that project is worth doing, make it happen.  Follow your passion.  Action will beget action.

I have a movie I want to write/produce about the 144,000 "chosen" people of the Bible, and the "three girls of Magiagorria"... It is based on scriptural prophecies and when I told my mom about it she was struck with awe.... I hope someone reading this will help me contact Steven Speilberg about producing it. Please have him call me at 225-803-0916.
