Shhhhh. It's a secret! But I will tell you this. You've gotta wake up in the morning. Generally before 10a.m. - The earlier the better because you know hwta they say about the Early Bird. Besides, we work in the field of dreams. And if we can get our process on while the zombies are still sleeping, we can create a world beyond fantasy.
Step one. OPEN YOUR EYES. This can be achieved by setting your alarm clock, letting your roommate make some noise, (When I was younger, my Dad used to turn the radio on and the first song of my consciousness was important.) or just counting on your circadian rhythms to do the trick.
Step two. STRETCH and/or EXCERCIZE. Get the life blood flowing.
Step three. Be glad that you are alive and living in America.
Step four. Have breakfast. That means some sort of food. Coffee is always a filmmakers beverage of choice. But don't forget the Orange Juice (You don't wanna come down with scurvey)
Step five. (and this one's important.) Take a Shower! Get the funk off of you. Water is what makes us conscious. And besides, nobody likes a skanky filmmaker. If there is one product that you don't wanna live without, it is SOAP.
Step six. Dress your best. You don't necessarily have to make a statement, but dress for your era at least.
Step seven. Write a little bit of something. First thoughts of the day, an email to a friend, something in your blog or journal. It will serve you for the day. Also, read something. Anything. It could be the cereal box, just get your mind in gear.
Step eight. Make your bed. You've heard the phrase: You made your bed, now you gotta sleep in it. Well, Make your bed.
Step nine. Grab your rescorces (pen, pad, camera, cell phone, lights, microphone, whatever your gig) and HEAD OUT THE DOOR>
More to Come.
