Eric's Answer

Ultimately, I dream of creating, developing, writing, producing and even directing feature films and primetime television shows. I currently have several ideas ready for development into scripts for full length feature films. Additionally, I have started developing concepts for television shows, two of which are particulary interesting to me. Unfortunately, at the present time, I cannot devote all my time and effort to developing and writing my ideas because I am neither independently wealthy, nor do I have a seperate source of income upon which to rely. Consequently, I am forced to work as much as possible to support my family, including my wife who suffers from a serious, life-threatening illness; accordingly, I work on my film/tv projects in my "spare time" -- after hours, on weekends, etc. Aside from the limited amount of time within which I can write, the pressures and stress of daily life also often conspire to render me too tired to be able to think creatively enough to write effectively, thereby further reducing the total amount of time for me to spend writing and developing my creative endeavors.
