So, heard back from the extremely long-shot opportunity for one of my projects and…it was a long-shot. They didn’t buy it. Le sigh. 
Luckily, I’m one of those types who moves on from rejection pretty quickly, i.e., spent a night with friends drinking, grousing, complaining, occasionally weeping and moved on by the next day. Ok, maybe not weeping.
My first inclination whenever I get rejected/turned down/kicked to the curb is to put together a plan b and/or c. So I did. And, truthfully, I actually am pretty excited about the prospects.

So today we thought we’d share what Anne Flournoy, the creator of THE LOUISE LOG has told us about the series, in the hope that it’ll prove inspirational to other peer producers.
Take it away, Anne:
How did I get this going?
