Introduce Yourself : Day 3, 4, or 5 since 'RBs' webinar......as all days, I thrive to write. by Thomas "MoT" Hayden

About four years ago when I experienced incredible disenfranchisement (that broke my heart), I found Stage32, joined, and introduced myself and actually connected with several people. I wanted to become part of the 'performing arts' community in some way spring boarding from my education and background in design, creative writing, and psychology. Considering the timing of my experiences, my broken heart, and then the death of my best friend, I decided to focus on my writing, research, develop my stories, have "the designer in me teach the writer to write" which I had planned to do later in my career: these admixtures one stirs in the cultivating mind-spirit of my then college self. So, two point five years later with another seven or eight hundred books read, another thousand or so movies watched, and volumes and volumes of sketchbooks and a terabyte written, sketched, designed, and even paintings and illustrations created for my stories, well, I began following job oppotunities in filiming and theatre which took me around the country. Well, I took me around the country trying to connect with parts of my past, specifically family and continuing my search for my preferred environment in which to progress my writing projects. And, I made myself available...to help in 'filming and theatre', and I adore this community for always welcoming a newcomer, a fellow Creative who truly thrives utilizing many voices among multi-media. Of course, my 'personal family contingeant' divorced me for leading a less-than linear life. And, I continue with the writing and the stories and now actually attempting to find a 'home' among fellow creatives where I can rejoice with them, participate effectively communicating and presenting 'fine' arts talent and help educating and entertaining all those who "perform as audiences", in a way seeking their own personal enlightenment. On this morning three or four days after watching 'RBs' webinar and my days (always) filled with writing and now, joining many to all the portals for networking and social media and trying to understand a method for integration, I write this (re) introduction to the Stage32 Community which is really my biography in addition to the list of jobs and skillsets and talents that I have refined and are attempting to channel as a vector toward my true effectiveness and right-livelihood. Sure would be nice to develop some friends and penpals, a confidant or two, even get some paying work to help with the effort, and I will do my part in the relationships to help build 'our tribe' pursuing our passions. Thank you for reading. always, "MoT".
