…And I am surfing the web thinking. Yes occasionally I think! Actually the truth is I had to shut down my brain for a bit on the completion of the feature version of “Drawn by Pain”. I was a tad on the burnt out side of things.
With all that chaos that come with making something you are passionate about – sometimes you can push so hard that when you finally finish pushing – you forget why you started the push in the first place. That’s when it’s time to step away and decompress if even for a few weeks.
I find myself asking what has been achieved so far? Where do I stand? 3 weeks ago I might have shrugged and said I have no idea if anything has moved. But that feeling passes with a few weeks of sleep. I must say I am feeling proud of what I have been able to do with very little. I am proud that I didn’t let all the outside and sometimes inside voices tell me it couldn’t be done. I’m proud that I am ready to take this work and take the risk of sharing it in it’s true form.
I do hope people take the time. I do hope that people understand what I was trying to say in the way that I said it. I do hope I can have the resources to make a life out of doing this,
I really can’t thank all those that have stayed with me along the way. I even feel grateful to those that have fallen away for I miss their friendship on many days.
Things are looking up. I have a good feelings about the coming days. I think with all the hard work – only good things can happen.
Miss you guys much,
Jes

Yes your hard work will pay off in the end. It’s amazing how things turn out and how they change. You can’t expect what to happen because most of the time it never goes the way you think it will. Now through the hard work and dedication things do turn out the way you want them to at a steady rate because people see what you are trying to do and want to help. Good ideas are always stepped over and left behind. You give others inspiration to follow their dreams and ideas. Take chances. Be a leader and not a follower. I am very proud of you and to be a friend of yours. My friends are the world to me so you are awesome.
I was seriously about to post : I hope you don’t think I am kissing your ass.
I am for real and you know that so I don’t know why I thought of typing that. Maybe because it does sound funny and satirical. Who knows ? lol. Anyways I look forward to what you do in the future with your ideas and dreams. Hopefully I can share them with you along with everyone else.

You’ve definitely made a difference imo. If there is one thing I’ve learned over the years of enjoying the work of Mr. Jesse Cowell is that he knows how to get shit done and doesn’t give up despite what anyone or anything has to throw at him. You’ve done a great job man, can’t wait for years more. Even if you didn’t, you’d still have your fans cause we know how hard you work and how hard everyone else works to create all the great stuff put out.
