(no subject)

There are a lot of major stressors in my life right now I have very little to no control over.

Right now, I have to accept that I have a show to perform on Monday, new lines to learn to make up for someone else's departure, and an audition tomorrow for which I am probably in over my head.

Come Tuesday, I can worry about the rest, and I may even have more information with which to do that worry or solve those problems then.

All I can do is be in the game, and try not to cry when I read the newspaper.

Thoughts from the other coast

Sounds like your life is about as crazy as mine right now - 45 pages with of papers, profile, edited non-fic, and research to do and turn in every three days over the next two weeks.

Oh, and I have a great idea for a book. (Argh! Why can't I get inspired whilst I have time to breathe?)

So, warm wishes and strong thoughts to you way over there.

As we all do

I have a question for you...

I finally got my hands on a particular book*, and he talks about his start in acting. While I haven't finished it yet, I've read enough to see what things he and his friends did to get started, and how they treated their efforts.

Do you read things like that for motivation or ideas? Or perhaps to learn from others mistakes? Only curious...



* "If Chins Could Kill - Confessions of a B movie actor" by Bruce Campbell. Among his 'friends' include director Sam Raimi.

Yes and no... I confess to not really having an attention span to sit down and read things like that, but at the same time, collecting little bits of trivia of that ilk is something of a habit. I think any actor has a whole collection of trivia on the amount of rejection, humiliation, absurdity the already successful have gone through.

It's like, more actors could tell you how many agents rejected Danny Devito than could tell you their real age.
