About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

Restrictions: None
What If I Were in the Production of…Movies
Prompt: You are chosen to be part of a movie production. You can't be a writer for the movie. What is your job? Producer, Actor, Director or what?
--------------------------
What? I can’t be a writer? Now, that’s a low blow. If I can’t be a writer, I might just go jump in the lake. I guess this restriction also rules out the writer’s assistant jobs.
So let’s see what I could possibly do. Webcaster is out. I can barely wrap my mind around what streaming video is, and I think what I am doing here in WdC and in FB is more than enough webcasting for me on the internet. This negative also takes care of all web jobs such as the web developer and other web blah blah.
I might be able to work with the wardrobe people, but they’d only give me mending jobs, so that’s out, too. I don’t like mending, unless absolutely necessary. Voiceover, visual effects, videographer, videotape operator, video playback, video engineer and video editor jobs also require a head for electronics and technical stuff. My head to them would be as helpful as the huge stone heads at Easter Island.
Accounting anything, forget it, I’m not messing with finances to be blamed for one thing or another, especially for putting the movie company in arrears, later on.
I guess stunts dept. is open, but I could only do that if they need a clown who botches up the scene and gets herself hurt.
I wouldn’t be comfortable with those jobs of executive anything, producer anything, editor anything, or engineer anything, which eliminates just about everything.
Except the set…Yes, that’s it! I can work in the set-decorating department as a set painter or something, since I have some experience and a couple of certificates in art.
Better yet, why not get paid as a viewer-person among the first trial-target audience to see the movie and offer my opinions on it? Oh no, on second thought, this, too, might backfire, since I hardly ever like any movie I see. My criticism would be so acerbic that no movie would ever make it to the theaters.
In which case, I think I’ll remain sticking my hands into the paint cans or possibly wearing the paint cans on my head where this production biz is concerned..
