Nanowrimo - Blogging edition
Nov. 1st, 2020 03:09 pmI want to blog more... I do...
I've been having a two-fold problem, however...
1.) I have been so overwhelmed that trying to create coherent paragraphs has been problematic.
2.) I have been primarily trying to blog on my main computer, which is right beside my husband.
#1 is a clear and easily understood problem. #2 is problematic because my husband is a much more private that I am. My willingness to discuss pretty much anything, warts and all, is really, really hard for him to deal with. He is much, much more aware of, and cares much more for, presentation and performance. This is one of the reasons why I rarely ever write anything about him here, other than unequivocally positive things. He tolerates me blogging because he knows it has been important to me (and I've made some amazing friends and connections through LJ), but he is not at all comfortable with it.
As a result, blogging while sitting beside him (his computer is right next to mine), where it is easy for us to share screens and see what the other is working on/doing, means that I feel self-conscious when trying to blog.
However... with the proceeds of my Queen's course, I bought myself a shiny new laptop. So I can now blog elsewhere in the house without feeling like I'm triggering my husband's dread of exposure, because to a certain extent, the blogging is out-of-sight out-of-mind.
Another interesting problem I have is that I'd love to be talking about what my son is doing... however, given his career (he's 13.... how the hell can I be discussing my son's career at 13?) there is so much I can't say, since we aren't supposed to be talking about what he's working on until it's airing. So I can't really talk about what he's auditioning for or how close he gets to the parts, or what the parts are without potentially getting into hot water.
That said... I can say the following:
- He finished filming the movie in Quebec and they had a fantastic time doing it.
- The movie is in post-production and is supposed to be airing in April.
- He has an ADR session (where they do vocal recordings for reverse-shot scenes, or for lines that didn't record cleanly) set for Nov 16th.
- He also filmed a Hallmark Christmas movie this fall.
- He has an ADR session this coming Wednesday for that one.
- Release date is... I don't know? I've found multiple different release dates for this one online, and some of them are impossible (one is for Sunday, December 12th which... doesn't exist this year?) No, they don't actually tell you when they're releasing films you've been in.
- He was also just cast for his first voice-over role.
- Not a small part, either... it's a live-action series with talking animals in it, and he's the main talking animal.
- Haunting of Bly Manor is out now, so I can tell you that he plays Hooper, Miles' best friend from boarding school.
- English accent and all... which is fun, and not bad at all to have on his demo reels for future work.
So... that is one blog post down. I'm going to try for one a day for the month of November.
