may 2007 one writeous chick stuff i think about plus a couple of hopes and dreams and maybe a fear or two thrown in the mix search one writeous chick about jennifer upcoming classes workshops coaching events articles columns testimonials press mailing list contact archive may 2007 the glorious success of failure 4 may yesterday i saw a panel at the tribeca film festival all about superheroes zak penn a notably successful screenwriter whose credits notably include the x men 2 3 movies was one of the panelists and during the q a at the end a woman asked the panel if there were plans to feature a strong female superhero anytime soon zak responded by saying something to effect of well hey i made elektra and that sucked this caught my attention he then went on to detail the mistakes he had made with that movie and how he could have made it differently and perhaps better this set off a sequence of flashbacks in my mind and i recalled how at several times throughout the panel penn had tossed off casual references to failures he had been a part of to standing up for things he felt strongly about against the studios and then being fired to a big mistake he had made on x men and then in my mind this little failure montage culminated with his elektra comment i could not believe he was copping to so many mistakes and failures and he is a successful screenwriter it was so refreshing our society presents success as a finished product and props it up on display for the rest of us to oooohhhhh and ahhhhhhhhh over i know deep down that every new venture takes trial and error but i don t often spend much time actually contemplating this truth or how it could relate to me and my life the conditioning that success is born of success is that strong but this isn t true success is actually born of failure and sometimes of lots and lots of failure how this relates to me personally is fairly obvious i hate rejection i can sometimes be afraid to even try something new unless i have a pre guarantee that it will be a smashing well received success however failure can be and often is the catalyst for an ever greater success a few years ago when i decided that i absolutely must be a writing teacher and that this was my passion i applied to several mfa graduate school programs many of you already know how this story ends i got rejected from all of them and was devastated that my dream of teaching writing would never come to be until i decided to start my own company and teach the writing workshops that i wanted to teach exactly the way i wanted to teach them i believe that my success and my feeling of pride in what i do is so much greater because i was able to create it for myself according to my own terms and in line with my own passions even after others had told me quite definitively no i was struck by how powerful it was for a successful writer to be publicly cataloging his mistakes and failures and reminding me that every project i undertake does not have to have a pre guarantee of fabulous and absolute success every project does not even have to succeed as long as i can learn from my failures and use them as catalysts for even greater future successes reminding me how powerful it is to step out with your enthusiasm and your passion behind you and within you get really messy and maybe just fail but do so gloriously courageously and even successfully to take a chance because there is no way to succeed without lots of big glorious juicy and sometimes even humiliatingly sucky failures under your belt and there is not one success story out there who doesn t have their share of disastrous mistakes paving their path to success have a great weekend live large and take a chance on failure and if you want to share one of your glorious successful failure stories you can do so right here i d love to hear from you lots of love jen xoxoxo copyright 2007 by jennifer garam all rights reserved comments 2 comments categories failure uncategorized
