I spent almost 8 years away from art. My military service came first in so many ways for so many years, and I'm glad a few years ago, I was reminded and nudged back to the place I was when I was 20 years old. I started remembering and finding my work from the Fashion Institute of Technology in the basement, while realizing where I needed to course correct. I'm back now! Two years later, One childrens book published, some commercials written, working on two scripts, animations and logos.
Reading this from you was a sort of, “don't beat yourself up to bad, just grab a pen (or laptop) and go!”
Welcome to the city! You're here for the best four-week stretch of the year weather-wise (Sept 15-Oct 15), so make sure you get out and walk around. Central Park, obviously. Washington Sq Park at night. Take the Circle Line or Staten Island Ferry. If you need a bar, make sure the Yankees are on to see Judge hit (although I supposed Giants-Cowboys will do) and have a Perfect Manhattan. See a play. Buy coffee and a glazed marbled cruller from a cart. Don't forget the Morgan Library or Frick. Sit somewhere and watch.
Sorry if my biggest takeaway from this is 'Wow that cast!' So excited for your film.

Thank you for the motivation!
Happy you didn’t lose the spark, that you got hooked back up to that original juice. Powerful read. Thank you.
Beautiful and encouraging. Thanks for sharing.

Can’t wait to check out Milch’s book based on your experience with it.
Inspiring essay. NY definitely has its moments.
