Late blog

Just got home from reading at the book store by my place. Read a book on the business of acting, it was good, talking about sending out cards, networking, stay in touch with contacts, employees, always looking for next job, all that good stuff.  A lot of this  is similar to stuff I've read before but had a nice sort of fresh yet old school approach I think it may have been an older book or written by an older person about there start in the biz. I don't think I've blogged for awhile,. Today I attempted some writing and worked out, I'm trying to diet a little bit, I put on a little weight these last two months, so I'm trying to fight back a little, hopefully be hitting a weight I want by February during pilot season. Looking and feeling goods a big deal but I've got my work cut out for me, a lot of different things to accomplish besides the weight loss.  These things entail potentially getting another part time job, also just staying hungry and looking for acting work, trying to get even future projects in the works. Also working on my website or even creating a new one, I'll see what I can add and do with the one I currently have, it's a good time to pull resources together. Also sending out a few postcards or taking a meeting. Also being proactive with things I mentioned but also being patient, do what you have to do to survive, making the best of each opportunity and make goals and take steps to try to make a living as a working actor. It's sort of on me, i really want to take responsibility for my career. This means I have to keep doing a number of things, auditioning, writing, studying, grooming, ect. I am going home for Christmas break, looking forward to it, intend to really enjoy that time and touch base with the family. And once it's done get back out here and get to work, come back maybe get rested for a day but then really get after it, make a plan push forward move ahead. I do hope to keep blogging and give updates, I don't know how often it will be, will see.
