Recheck - Keeping it Real

I am feeling a little lost tonight. I need to work.

Currently, I am with a great agency. That rarely sends me out. This is a problem.

While I do believe creating my own work is what will take me places, I feel imbalanced. I do want to be auditioning at least occasionally. I've had very few legit auditions this year (legit = TV/film/theater). That's pretty unimpressive. I parted ways with my last manager - which I totally do not regret - but the truth is that she did send me out. So now I have an agent who I'd like to send me out more and no manager. I've been in talks with a couple of managers - and I feel I need to step up that game and meet more people and then finally secure a new manager who will help get me out there more.

Its easy to feel out of control in this biz....and I feel I need to be back in control. I just need to start working on a project outside of the work I create for myself. Right now, I'm in the thick of writing my solo piece, which has taken an interesting turn. One that scares the be-jesus out of me. Good. Its good to be frightened. To feel alive. And we are starting preproduction for the film I am producing with my hubby. Its a meaty project that I know will take our production company places. So, I am pretty much tied up til early June. Arrrgghhhh! After that, I have want to find an acting gig outside of the work I do on my own. I need to work on someone ELSE'S project!

In the meantime, I've called up an actor I know who is super talented and he and I talk about working together all the time. Its time. Its time for me to get back in there and work my actor muscles.

Hit me up universe - I need to dive into another project. And please help me find a way to juggle it all: marriage, new apartment, earning a living AND living a creative life - finding good, meaty work and finding a manager/agency that really believes in me........
