Robocop and Eagerness

I re-watched the original Robocop movie with friends this weekend, and it was the Unrated version. It was kind of funny that I watched this movie as a kid, and it was ridiculously violent. There is something about these types of classic action movies that are kind of refreshing though. There is not this feeling that the creators of this movie are trying to promote some sort of message, and they were very unrestrained as far as what the characters can say and some of the violence that they committed. The only comparison that I can think of in modern times that have that unrestrained movie making is in a few Asian movies that I have seen recently.

I am adding more pages to the Land of the Wooden Statues, as two literary agents told me that the story is too short. One thing that I catch myself doing is reading through the already finished material, and I am always telling myself that this needs to be read by the larger public. I have taken time and care so that the story flows well and is easy to read. While self-publishing is an option, I still strive to get this published through traditional publishers that will be able to help in the story getting more reach. Marketing by myself would be time-consuming and a hustle in itself.

I just have to grind and make opportunities, I suppose. I think of the time that I worked part-time at a Blockbuster Video, and I was so eager to get a full-time job when the economy was not doing so well. It took effort, grit, discipline and constant resumes sent, but I finally ended up getting out of part-time work. I can only hope that seem mentality will get me professionally published as well.
