Take it from the top

In spite of how magical theaters are, I realized today that I really have no idea what I’m doing as a director. Jumped in the deep end here. It’s too early to tell if I’m any good at it, either. Humbling.

But you know, even though I’m sticking my neck out with this directing gig and might get it chopped off, at least I tried. If it bombs, well, I learned a lot, and I’ve always got my writing and the magazine and so on to put me back together again. And if a miracle happens, three cheers all around. The important thing is being open to failure and ready to learn from it. It might take a long string of failures to become a success as a director. Or I might realize it’s not for me after all. Either way, it was worth the shot.
