2010 so far...

Life has been a bit of a whirlwind lately. As I'm sure you know, we've finally launched the first episode of The Undead Diaries. Feedback so far has been really great. Two of my friends (and the age of my target demographic) got a sneak peek at a couple of episodes and were literally laughing outloud. I can't begin to tell you how good that made me feel. Now, I just need to get about a million other people to do the same thing! For all the marketing I feel like I did, the numbers seem really low for that first episode. I dunno....wait and see? Start email blasting? Episode 2 comes out tomorrow so I guess I need to make a decision by then. Oh! And I think I finally figured out how to upload the damn things so there decent quality. I cannot begin to tell you the countless hours I have spent exporting, uploading, deleting, exporting again, etc., etc.

2010 seems to be in super speed or something. On one hand it seems like the holidays were ages ago but I woke up this morning asking how it was February 4 already? January seemed to just come and go in a blink.

I'm on a major push to make something happen with my acting career. I've been here for over 4 years now and have really nothing to show for it. I've always heard that 5 years is the mark. That's when people start knowing your name, your face, etc., that's when the wheels really start turning. Well, this year will tell. I have dropped so much money on workshops that have resulted in nothing, sent headshots to countless agents that resulted in nothing....I wonder if that 5 year mark isn't so much about people finally knowing you exist but more about you getting to that point where you're so frustrated that you just don't care anymore. Then any fear you had of pissing someone off goes away and makes you more bold? I'll let you know because I'm REALLY at that point. I'm beyond at that point. I have a workshop this weekend for a show I desperately want to be on before it gets cancelled and I plan on putting my theory into practice.
