...February 15 - two months and a day since I last updated this thing. I have so much I should be doing but here I am trying to revive this nearly dead blog.
The big news since my last post is that I am now unemployed. The place where I had my survival job went out of business at the beginning of January. I found out on New Years Eve. To be honest, it was kind of a relief.
But I've now been forced to re-group. It's been fun for the past month or so sort of hanging out and doing the acting thing, but this week I kind of sobered up, had a panic attack, and is like, crap, I have to figure something out. Do I really push the acting thing during this time? Find a new survival job ASAP? Try to get my side business off the ground? Right now I'm kind of doing all three and I know I can't keep this up. I'm hoping to do a session with a career/life coach type person to get some guidance, but I haven't even filled out the application yet. I just keep telling myself it's going to be okay.
I have been doing a lot of acting-related stuff - did a mailing, filmed a scene for my demo reel, did some CD workshops and networking events, started a new class, took a refresher class, continued with my regular class, started trying to find a commercial agent, and I'm in the process of trying to film an internet short.
Wow. That's a lot. Why can't I get paid for any of this stuff?
I'm also editing demo reels for 2 performers I know. I'd love to make money doing that because I already have the editing software on my computer. Yep, I'd love to avoid having to get another survival job, or at least a full time one.
And of course I'd love to book something!
Okay, I feel a little better now. Things are going to be alright.
In other news I'm going to a CD workshop that I got for a discount - yay! And I'm hoping to help out in a class taught by a working director.
Whew! Okay, I need to try and get a few emails sent before I go to bed.
