Oppenheimer and a Lack of Momentum
My wife and I watched Oppenheimer, and I liked the movie. It was a little long, and while I understand why the third act was there, I felt that the peak of the movie was at the end of the second act. Considering that the movie was mainly conversations, it was cut and edited in a way to make the scenes move quickly. It was definitely an interesting just from a historical perspective, and the man himself had many layers to him, which the movie delved into. It went against Barbie: The Movie, which my wife watched with friends, but I did not. I think that a movie like Oppenheimer would be more my speed.
I have been getting a lot of ideas of projects to work on, but I am no getting any momentum to really be incentivized to work on them. Creative endeavors are very difficult because of this, and as an aspiring author, it is more pronounced that progression is slow and uncertain. I would like to write opinion articles, for example, and writing them is not the problem, but just finding someone to accept them is a tough task. Of course, I can just do everything myself, but it has proven difficult as well. I have a website and social media, but getting viewers and followers has been slow. It is not enough to create content, but getting one’s name out there as well.
I suppose that networking and partnering with others will help with this. Also, just putting more time and resources into advertising would help. Thankfully, my wife is assisting me with a lot, so that is a good start. Hopefully, this is just a phase that I have to go through, and that I will come around on the other end of this.
