Full Circle: A New Blog For The Blogs

By on May 1, 2012

Okay, many of you already know that I’m an avid blogger. I love blogs and everything about them lol. However, it now seems that everything has come full circle for me.  It’s so funny because just a few years ago I had my heart so set on becoming a filmmaker.  Thank God I did complete two short films and my first feature for DVD, Lord Help Us, which is just about everywhere now…and it’s been on a lot of top cable networks such as BET, TV One, GMC, etc.  I’m still proud of that movie, even though it was extremely tough for me to complete.

Anyway, I started blogging back in 2004 to keep track of all my filmmaking plans with my first movie.  I wanted to be able to look back and see how far I came in getting the movie completed. It was fun and exciting to blog about the ups and downs of trying to get it produced.  My first blog (about how I made the movie) is still on Blogger.com but it’s private now.

I liked blogging so much about my filmmaking experience that I decided to make a personal blog on blogspot.com, which eventually turned into ShavarRoss.com, which is the blog you’re on now.

You guys know I’m “long-winded” so let me jump cut to:

Next thing I knew I started another blog, and then another, and then another, lol.

What was so gratifying about creating these blogs was the fact that I could produce something rather quickly and efficiently so that people could enjoy the work, so to speak. That is one of the reasons why I wanted to branch off into films in the first place — I wanted to be more creative and make products that people could enjoy.

But the big-time money and the energy it takes to make just one film is very time-consuming.  It takes a lot to complete a film, let alone get it distributed.  Maybe I’ll get back to that one day again.

But for now, here is my blog of all my blogs. I have a small team of people who help me with creating them. This is a fun outlet for me, not-to-mention that it pays a few bills, so thank you Jesus for that! Can I get an amen, somebody? LOL.

Anyway, I’ve created a new site, trise7en.com where you can keep up with what we’re currently doing with my company of websites. You can also like us on Facebook here.

Here are some interviews I’ve done recently about my new blogging ventures:
