I tend to make declarations and/or observations when I note powerful forces of the universe. While there haven't been eclipses or comet sightings, there has been movement in one gal's near stagnant career. During a five-month hiatus due to a corporate downsizing, I have been fortunate enough to enjoy a bit of a free-fall while job-hunting. This window has afforded time to finalize scripts that had been been long-neglected, enabled development of future projects, let alone allowed me to catch my breath and flirt. If there's a decent severance package, a pink slip right before summer can't be that bad.
Nonetheless, nearing the end of the "gravy train" of severance and unemployment, a girl has scrambled to find the right fit. After a few days of staring at my brick walls wondering "what to do next," the phone rang -- so to speak. Two job interviews in a week, plus an orientation regarding the fiscal sponsorship of a film project. Hoo-stinkin'-rah!!! Prior to getting this week, there were signs that "the good" was moving back in my direction. Of the DOZENS of query letters and applications submitted since January (prior to my formal exodus), I've only received six -- two in the last two weeks. Considering the two interviews are within my field and are respectable positions, it's pleasing to have not one but two orgs take an interest in a gal hurtling closer to Earth -- (yikes) in too many ways.
The fiscal sponsorship meeting was also affirming in that it was a testament to the quality of the project as well as the strengths of the promotional material. The organization selects projects twice a year into their fiscal sponsorship program. Of this group, we were one of the eight projects selected. It seems as if we had a great deal of competition. The climb only gets higher from here
