Moving Forward

This image says: "Without wonder and insight, acting is just a trade. With it, it becomes creation." Moving forward into my last semester of college, I'm really going to have to hold on to these words, not just for She Loves Me and for my classes and what I do there, but also going into auditions and any kind of professional setting. I find myself turning toward classic actors for advice, and I think, just maybe, there could be good things in my future. I certainly hope so, at least.

Accomplishment

There are few things in life that are more satisfying than accomplishing something you've worked on for a long time, or getting something that you worked really hard to get. I'd say this week was one of those weeks that was hellish in scope, but when participating in was actually rather fun.
I finished National Novel Writing Month last night, and I can't even believe how relieved I am that I crossed the 50,000 word mark just 15 minutes before midnight. As a reward, my writing friends and I watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog and sang along. It was a wonderful way to wind down the evening after a huge 5,000 word sprint to the finish line.
I also am feeling so blessed to be part of the She Loves Me cast. I think our cast and creative team are so incredible, and the show is going to be not only a lot of fun, but so rewarding. I'm looking most forward to learning from my cast members and interacting with them on stage, and I feel that now I'm at a place where I can really do that.
Anyway, thank God this week is over. On to finals with practically nothing but this final to do!
