Hooper

Back to the real world, or so it is as I perceive it . . . .

I will make my movies. No matter what. Right after I finish the bar exam, I am going to sit at home and type and find funding to do so. I have spent many sleepless nights being haunted and tormented by the fact that I have not yet done this.

I just have to keep in mind that being a lawyer was just a backup, my day job, so that I could make movies and write books.

It's funny. Normally, I think of myself as plannig to chase my dreams, but now I feel as if my dreams are chasing me. I cannot sleep, and when I do, I waken in the middle of the night in a panic. I find myself writing thoughts down in my bar notes, and I feel a desperate determination to do everything right now, in spite of the fact that I have other studies to which I am currently committed. I find it hard to withstand the urge to multitask, and ideas and entire scenes are rushing to me at all hours. If I am not insane, then I think I might have just overcome the longest spell of writer's block with the biggest flourish that I have ever heard of.

The reason I am writing this is so that any readers can hold me to following through on this dream after the bar exam. It is harder to back down once one has committed something to writing.

Hooper Writings, Thoughts and Happenings I was born in the late 1970s. I grew up in West Virginia, went to five different schools for undergraduate in three different states, finishing at the University of Pittsburgh. I had obtained degrees in English Literature and Film Studies, and had satisfied or nearly satisfied requirements for a multitude of minors. Then, upon realizing that I would need a day job in order to be able to chase my dreams in these two fields, I chose to go to law school. I am out of law school now. I live in Pennsylvania now. To know the rest you'll have to read on a bit.
