-- Write movie reviews for a newspaper or magazine.

-- Write film crit for a legitimate periodical or other publication.

(I think this needs to happen in this order.)

-- Write a full length feature screenplay that I don't hate.

-- Write a play that isn't terrible.

(This also needs to happen in this order, I think. I don't think I could write a play before finishing a screenplay.)

-- Bring back screwball comedy, goddamnit. IT CAN STILL BE RELEVANT.

-- Teach. Preferably university students.

-- Write a media literacy curriculum for elementary/secondary school students to teach them how to sort through and critically digest images/moving pictures/the stuff on the internet with actual content instead of just fucking consuming it mindlessly.

---- Make friends who will get this curriculum implemented for real in public schools.

------ Make other friends who will save public education.

------ Make other friends who will save liberal arts higher education.

------ Make other friends who will effectively reform the university admissions process.

-------- Find the patience and means to do all this myself should the friend-making fail, which it probably will.

In the mean time:

-- Write more letters.

-- Write more in general.

---- Write less about me and more about everything else.

---- Finish that goddamn screenplay adaptation.

-- Read more.

---- Books, I mean.

-- Consume less. Sort through the shit and critically read/view more.

-- Finish my masters without being a total failure.

-- Keep going. Lather, rinse, repeat.
