Wow. So here we are. Feels like an eternity since I last posted. And of course, so much has changed. Changed indeed.
I did a reading, and some fun Murder Mystery theater, which is quite a challenge live and among the masses, let me tell you. I've just been pruning a new script. It's a play I've been working on the past few months...hopefully it catches. There's also a short film I may finally get around to producing. We will see. I auditioned, but nothing has caught for the summer. And to top it all off, a drought in my acting inspiration has stifled most of my appearances. Other than that, I did a reading recently, and have been working nonstop to raise money. The job situation got rocky. I was hired, but very little money came in. Therefore, I've had to surrender the Jersey City residence. I will dearly miss the landlords and their dogs. They have been very kind to me as I attempted to make my transition to adult-like freedoms. It was a necessity, but a sad one. They are very generous folks. Perhaps one day, I may repay them for their kindness, and the inconvenience. The fact of the matter is real world has caught up to the dream and now requires a very different approach.
The good news is that I may have found something work-wise that will stabilize me financially. And that those kind landlords have a new tenant. But, it does mean that the journey will take a detour. A very big one. For all my adventures, there still lingers the question as to whether this is deemed to be my overall profession. I leave the door open for the possibility in the future, but issues within the business, and within myself, have asked me to take a pause, and allow myself to live in the world instead of just acting it out in a dark space. That also means I must put this blog, temporarily, to rest. I need to keep my focus upon the future and my personal well-being and indepedence. I still dream of the day when I may make a home on the stage or the screen, but for now, it will remain the image, not the reality. Like anything else, perhaps it will help take all the noise that scatters my thoughts out of my head, and allow me to think with more clarity how best to proceed forward.
I want to thank my silent audience for following me through the year-and-a-half long plunge: starting with those first emails to those of you who helped give me the big push to the expanded audience that watches in for the myriad reasons one might read and listen. Performers do not act out to be heard alone, but wish for a full audience if only to confirm that they have said something. Again, thanks for making my words truly heard, and I hope that this story may very soon pick up where it is leaving off.
Until then my friends...
