Its day two of my challenge to myself. Already I am struggling with what to fill this space with. I have made several initial attempts and none of them have been quite right. So rather than trying to explain myself, or come up with anything insightful, I will simplify.
What is it that I want?
Mostly I want to avoid the usual pitfalls of an actor out of work. It's all too easy to lose focus and get discouraged. I know, as every actor knows, from experience. So, lets get a little more specific. Having a daily regime is helpful, but what else can I gain from this.
I would like to improve my writing first of all. I don't think of myself as a writer. Yes I can do it, but I lack the ideas. And, yes it has been pointed out to me that if I wait for inspiration to strike it will never come. So here I am, not waiting. I don't know if I want to write fiction, but I do enjoy analytical writing. In the past, this blog has served as a forum for me to share my thoughts on shows I have seen. This is definitely something that I would like to continue.
I have set myself another task to partner with my daily writing. A performance based task. Already I have had some thoughts about my project and this space will be useful in helping me clarify those thoughts. I am pushing myself out of my comfort zone, and I want to make it count.
These are my main goals. Well at least for now. I am sure they will change as I start figuring out what I need and want. Maybe I will do some creative writing, maybe not. Who knows. At least the task has begun. Maybe tomorrow I'll tell you about my acting task.
