New Year, New...
03 . Jan . 2018 Filed in: MasterClass
OK, so December was a bust. I should really consider hibernating that month. But it’s time to get back to the passion. And what do you do after a long hiatus like this? New year, new me? Start something fresh? Continue on with an existing project?
Maybe you’re going through this too. And I have no answer for you. But I will go with what feels right for me. I’m going to take a class while working on a bit of existing material. The class though, I’m jumping in and taking James Patterson’s MasterClass.
I know, it’s been out for about a year now, but it’s my first time hearing of it. I did know about MasterClass, I just hadn’t considered it. You don’t get a diploma when its over. You’re not graduating from some elite university. But there is something cool about someone you admire or even respect in their respective field teaching you something about a craft or passion you share.
I think the popular one I see now is Ron Howard teaching you to direct (I’ll probably be looking into that one as well as David Mamet and Aaron Sorkin). But if you do decide to take any one these classes (there are some about acting, tennis, being a DJ…), I believe the biggest lesson they will all teach you is that you need to practice your craft. So now, I’m off to practice. Maybe that’s the answer for you too, go practice.
