I have a lot to report on, but before I get started I would like to thank each and everyone who is part of this network for sharing and caring. As the Holiday fast approaches, I wish all of you a safe and happy Holiday Season as you spend it with family and friends.
I'M MAKING A MOVIE....
I know this sounds a little crazy, but it's true. Well, I did something as a favor and it turned out to be really big. Here's how it happened....
For years I've been friends with a man named David Edwards. He and I connected over the internet for business in 1998.
Over time, I eventually met David's Mother, June Edwards, I was intrigued by her style of conversation. Mrs. Edwards and I shared a lot in common because we are both writers, but in different context.
Mrs. Edwards told me about her Novel she had written called "Vanishing Glory." She was excited that I wanted to read it, and thrilled too, because I am from the 'old south.'
A couple of years passed by and she asked me, when we personally met here locally, to see if her Novel was good enough to be made into a movie. She even held my hand and said, "my dream come true is to make my Novel into a movie, will you help me?
First off, I was honored to be asked to do this sort of thing, and I couldn't refuse because deep down, I knew it could be. So I set out on a mission to call up every movie producer from Florida to California. I received a lot of "Maybes" and "NO's," but one that really listened to me was a Guy named Phil.
Phil Melfi is the President of Movie Partners, Inc and is located in Hollywood, CA. After Phil and myself began talking, we saw that this Novel was, in fact, the right thing to do for Mrs. Edwards, and to make her dream come true.
Now after 8 long months of emails and phone calls, we are developing the screenplay, and time for production will begin in Feb, 2006.
To help move this along, I put up a website on "Vanishing Glory" just in case you want to learn more about this incredible Novel.

I've been extremely busy dealing with the travel back and forth to MS and other states, that in between all my other responsibilities, I've managed to deliver, contribute, design, program, write, and work on things I've been putting off for a long time. Trying to keep our existing customers running happily isn't an easy task either, is why I think a vacation is long overdue! So, I am back home now planning on a little R&R.
The following is what I've managed to accomplish in three months:
I am the contributing Author, the designer, the Copywriter for Is America Safe. http://www.isamericasafe.com
Chris and myself created a site for our catfishing tournaments held locally on one of our lakes. http://www.thecatfishshowdown.com
Reworked our old Corporate website into a new one. http://www.boaze.com
Updated CopyWritePlus' Blog for the writers. http://www.copywriteplus.com/blog
Restructured one of my offline businesses "Precision Duct cleaning" with a new website: http://www.precisionductcleaning.com along with a new one being formed for Preventive Maintenance, launching in 2006.
Was appointed Senior Project Management position with All Kit Homes for the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast for FEMA, HUD, and DHS. With a new website: http://www.allkithomes.com
After all this, you probably can imagine how rested I am now. Tell you the truth, success doesn't rest. It's a process that always grows.
Unfortunately, there are no magic formulas for instant success no matter how many people may try to convince you otherwise.
While it is a good idea to learn from others who have gone before you to avoid the pitfalls they have encountered it is wise to use good judgment about any information that may influence you or your business decisions.
Final Note - Determine what it is you truly want and where you are going then you will be unstoppable in attaining your goals with the biggest business success stories yet to happen and the next success story just could be you.
