Finding Inspiration

So I have been telling a few people each day about my new project and so many wonderful things have already started happening for me! Everyone has either shown their support with my new adventure, provided advice and guidance, or offered their services when I finally starting writing and conceptualizing. I feel so blessed right now because I was a bit concerned if people would be open to the idea of me starting my own children series, but I have had the exact opposite reaction from everyone! They love it. It makes me so excited for the coming months as I really take the time to piece this show together.

I have already had some inspiration from other individuals who have ventured into the world of children entertainment. I recently was told about a young man who has started his own work out DVD series for 2-6 year olds called Mighty Me! This site gets kids excited about finding their inner super heroes while subsequently getting them exercising during the process. It is so adorable! I am really interested in how he got started in this and how he came to this success. I hope to get in touch with the creator, Brian Donovan, soon to pick his brain with a few of these questions.

I have good feelings about this folks, good feelings.

Taking my first LEAP!

Hey guys~

I started this blog for my writing class but since it is about the world of kid's television, I thought it would be the perfect place to garner support for my latest major endeavour in my life. I am going to start writing my own children television show. I have always wanted to find a way to combine my passion of acting with my other passion for teaching children and this is such a great way! I have never done something this massive before. I am still in school til May so I won't be doing too much work on the project until after graduation, but I will be posting new ideas as they come about, but I would love comments and help along the way.

Now, I understand that there are issues that I haven't touched yet. That is where my LEAP project for the week comes into play.

L (Limitations)- Funding for getting equipments and rights to stories I might use, location options, and people willing to help with production

E (Expectations)- Getting the first pilot episode online by the middle or end of the summer!

A (Apprehensions)- I have some nerves when it comes doing something so major because I have a fear of failure. But recently, I have been learning that it is ok to fail because then you know how to make it better. I am starting slow by just writing it for a web series but if it happens to take off for a network like Noggin or Playhouse Disney, then....well...I will cross that bridge when we get there.

P (Pre-conceived ideas)- I only have the inspiration from other kid shows out there right now. I hope that I know what I am doing. I would like to think that my previous exposure to multiple children's programming will provide insight into how to make mine successful!

Well folks I hope you are ready to embark on this crazy new journey with me!
