Flip-Flop

What a soul searching chapter. Johnny is struggling to find a sense of inner balance, in this new world. He receives support in this process from those who care, and understand the array of emotions, that he is working to process. This will be be his future, if he is able to remain successful, and focused.

Voss knows her Industry well! I thought that was excellent advice also.

This film represents a big gamble by both Johnny, and also by Violet Voss. They both are aware of the risks and rewards, that will be involved in this project. For Johnny, this could be his sink or swim, once in a lifetime opportunity, to propel his new acting career. Violet needed a lead character who could pull off her visions, of yet another award winning production. The audience would decide if they felt that the film had accomplished, their shared goals. Word of mouth would be needed to drive this film to become a financial, and theatrical success! Will they be able to create a success by working together? Johnny's support group are right there with him, in this intense endeavor. Another excellent chapter @Albert1434.

Johnny now sees each different role as an opportunity to test his limits, and to grow his abilities. Is Marcus Johnny's agent? I don't seem to remember Johnny having one? 🤔 Another opportunity knocks❣️

I'm a rather slow reader, compared to many of my fellow GA members. I have years of bookmarked stories, that caught my interest, long before I became an active member! I doubt catching up, will ever happen! But it is wonderful there are so many excellent options available on this site.

This chapter was a wonderful case study in film making, and reveals the importance of everyone's role on the set, and involved in the production. Johnny was wise enough to understand what the demands of his performance will be. The motto "All for one, and one for all" came to mind, as I was reading. Respect for everyone's corporation on the set, had great importance, and Johnny was quickly learning his part to play, blending in with the rhythm that was taking place. Many valuable lessons were being taught here, and he was understanding his role to play, in them!

Andrew and Ryan have a lot going on with the plans for the expansions, and changes to their various business branches. They are now on their way to enjoy a vacation, with special friends, and family members. Everything is coming together for a 'first class trip experience" for all involved. Dan and Joan have always been dear friends, and business partners, and seem like actual family! This is how very few people are able to travel. I hope all goes well!

As @Paladin has stated, Martin is losing "control over the narrative", which is quickly becoming much more difficult to maintain, as more people become involved. There will be many threads of turmoil to unwind, as we move forward. We are now at chapter 18, and it seems like we still have a very long way to go, before many situations can, or will be addressed. Yep, there is certainly a lot more to unravel here. I'm looking forward to seeing how future complications, will unfold. Just how rocky will everyone's path to individual happiness get, for each of Martin's recently created, and growing extended family members?

I loved this road trip. All I have to add is "Let's do the Time Warp again!"

Johnny finally got his first movie role (the lead role, no less)❣️ This is a positive step for him and hopefully will lead to better audition results and future opportunities. Each casting review team, will be looking for something special from the actor, depending on the character's role, in their production, One type set, does not fill all wants. He will need to learn how to anticipate their different desires, for their various characters. Each audition, will pose a new set of different challenges for him, but that is how acting works. Live and learn, and continue to grow your output.

He looks so cute, but he and his fellow bears can cause such great havoc to pets, children, ect..... Have others reported sightings in your area? Many times our State Wildlife officials will attempt to capture, and safely relocate them. Hopefully, he is only passing through your area, and found an easy tasty snack, and will move on!

This sounds like a great combination, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they will work their cases together. Both are very interesting characters. This prompt story was a very exciting ride. Thanks Lee!

I love the fast paced action of this story, and the control of the police response, that Trevor has shown thus far. Thank goodness Jerry revealed the fact of the basement panic room to Julius. I had to chuckle at the fact, that the entrance code to the panic room door, was an obvious 911. The SWAT chief has set his capture plan in motion, but will it work out as he has planned? We shall learn more soon!

Bert's arrival was a welcome surprise, and will aid in Nathan's understanding of Martin's current personal, and professional situations. It should also help to liven up the activities around Martin's home, and family business. Carol seemed more than willing to "go with the flow", with all of these sudden changes, now taking place. The group also escaped Adelaide before Nathan's ex-wife could even make an appearance at Nathan's apartment.

I bought a heavy duty Whal steel hair clipper over 20 years ago, and still use them today. I doubt they make them as good now as they did then, but they have probably saved me thousands, over the many years. This was a plug in (I hate constantly replacing batteries in anything)! I have had to replace many trimmers over the years, so no such luck with them ☹️
