The Ryan Gosling film got featured in some amazing places, I don't know the full extent yet. Living in New Zealand and making the home page of Stuff was pretty amazing. As was the NZ herald feature. The piece of media coverage that thrilled me most though was getting a story on the Huffington Post.
It's bad saying this but right now I just feel a bit empty. I know it's shock and pressure and stress and that one day I'll look back and be 'oh wow that was a really cool thing that happened'. My partner Scott was talking to one of his very bright academic friends about this/me yesterday and they said something that seemed to hit the nail on the head 'that we often prepare for failure but not success'. I feel so paralyzed now by what I do next and ill equipped to handle the opportunity I have been handed.
I think the past week has shown you that it doesn't really matter what you do following this week of unbelievable events, whatever you do will be the right thing. Your perspective and fab skills got you here in the first place and won't be deserting you anytime soon. Congratulations Colleen, you are amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat's a truely lovely thing to say thank you.
DeleteHi Colleen, firstly, wow what has happened in the last week for you is just amazing! Congratulations on where your fabulous work has taken you, I am sure you have put years of hard work and dedication in to your art. I'm sure you are most certainly not ill equipped to handle this opportunity; rather, it is probably just an overwhelming feeling when you stop and realise how far you can, and will, go! But regardless of this happening your work is fab. All the best for your busy ventures!
ReplyDeleteGo Colleen! Love you work and now the rest of the world knows about it too ;)
