Introduce Yourself : Having It All!!! by DeAnne Brown-Hirsch

Hey Everyone! My name is DeAnne Brown-HIrsch and I am a writer and trained actor. I have a full time "regular" job in sales and marketing, am launching a new business next week that could free up more time for writing (wish me luck - seriously, I believe in well wishes and their power), and am finishing my second screenplay in time for the New Blood contest deadline on October 14th. I'm completely pressing myself in all directions right now and it's forcing me to closely manage my time. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you make it a point to write at least one hour a day. I've heard it a million times, "if you want to be a writer, write every day", but time has been my roadblock for years. Now it's on my daily To Do list and I will not go to sleep until it's done - no matter what - and some days I DON'T WANT TO!!!!!! One hour a day is 30 hours per week and that can be a lot of writing, especially when you're pressed to write as much as possible before the time runs out. It's more like a game for me now and has turned everything around! I love this site and the support it offers - it seems no one is in competition - just cheering each other on - like American Ninja Warrior. Thank you to everyone and it's great to meet you!
