So, this is blogging.

Nice place you got here.

I'm just gonna go slip into something a little more ... comfortable.

But really ... Hi, readers we don't have but hopefully will at some point, it's very nice to meet you. You're a very clean bunch.

I'm Kyle from The Make Believe Picture Company. I write. Or in today's case, I fight with writing.

My partner, Eric, and myself are trying to break into the entertainment industry, his dream is to produce, creatively develop, and make quality films that people will love, laugh because of, and identify with.

I write.

His job is clearly the hardest one because what exactly does a producer do? Everything it seems.

Again, I write.

But today, oh boy, today was I not writing. I wasn't exactly doing the opposite of writing, which one would assume would be erasing, but I was doing anything but. It was a struggle.

I tell people that I write, and rightfully so, they think that you sit down and just start punching out a product (to be produced!) and on the best days that's exactly how it works. Today wasn't the best day. It wasn't the worst day either, where you stare at a blank screen cursing your lack of creative juices and wondering if you shouldn't have become a carpenter. It was definitely in between the two though.

Here at Make Believe, we've got a stable of projects in a variety of different stages, from finished and ready to sell/make to the makings of the new stories and fresh characters.

Today's battle was with a finished product that we've decided to break down and build it back bigger, better, faster & stronger.

Honestly, I think it'd be easier to write one of the many new stories we have in development, but I'd like to do right by this script, get it as good as it can be, and basically kick it out of my house like a child that just turned 18.

I'll always love it, I'll think of it fondly, but it needs to get out and start doing stuff on it's own (like selling itself, making movies and producing income.) Maybe an 18 year old prostitute you're kicking out of your house is a better analogy?

Regardless, I fought with it today, I struggled and eventually it got the best of me. Today wasn't my day. It happens. I'd like to tell you it happens to the best of us, I sometimes wonder if Charlie Kaufman has these problems, but I can't do that. I just know me.

And hopefully by the time this journey really starts getting underway you'll know me too. For good or for bad, better or worse, we're gonna be roommates on this journey to conquer the entertainment world. Just to let you know though, I don't do windows, laundry is gonna stack up, and it's always your day to cook.

I'll be writing.

There's tons of backstory and history and you'll get it all at some point. It's not always pretty but hopefully it'll be pretty entertaining. I really just stopped in here to introduce 1/2 of The Make Believe Picture Company to you (you, sexy non-existent readers) and say "hi."

Hi. 

I'm Kyle. Half of The Make Believe Picture Company. 

Now go home. It's my bedtime and I've got a script to battle with tomorrow.
