Mission Accomplished

Woke up this morning with the gnawing feeling of unfinished business. Realized that I havent written to a certain casting director that I intended to write to earlier this week. So I took the whole morning to write that darned letter! Calling a friend, reading it to her, bouncing it off the hubby......calling around to some folks I thought might know this CD personally. Brainstorming how to get in the current film they are casting. Researching on-line. I felt like such a sneaky little detective!

Popped that one in the mail - and then met with O to work on my monologue. I think I have to change my mindset about this if I'm going to have any sort of success and learn to enjoy. Was super frustrating at times - but I realized when I was in such a pissy mood afterwards, that this is part of the process. Reminds of me of a quote from "The War of Art:"

"The amateur sets out to create a masterpiece.....the professional sets out to just do the work."

So, as O reminded me when we were coaching through it: "you are an actress involved in process....." and sometimes "process" is frustrating.....

Then went to see my friend R's one woman show. So proud of her - she's an inspiration!

Looking forward to a chill weekend!!
