Nervous excitement on the brink of something different

With luck, I'll be signing a financing deal later today to get a major project off the ground. I know not to count my chickens, of course, but if/when this happens, it'll be a milestone for the detail-oriented biographers to fuss about. But really, it's interesting, when I read biographies of successful filmmakers, the day they signed their first financing deal isn't really mentioned. Folks talk about premieres, about early experiences on film sets, etc., but somehow, this part of the story doesn't play in to it much. With luck, I'll join their ranks, and this part of my story won't seem to matter much, either. But I know that despite the narrative choices of biographers, this really does matter. This is another major beginning in a long, fascinating chain of beginnings.
