Just when I was feeling like nothing was happening for me,
things began to change.
I was asked to audition for a role in what promises to be a
meaningful and artful film. As far as money goes,
there will be some. Just don’t know how
much or little.
Then I received an email to please hold a certain day free to
possibly be in another film. It’s a one-day
commitment and pays enough to help me get through this month. It’s just not confirmed yet.
Isn't all this financial uncertainty so much fun?!
Now I have an opportunity to do a 2-minute clean set for
industry. I hope
I can pull out 2 clean
minutes from my material. I hope I
deliver well and do my best. That’s what
I want from myself – my current best.
Then if I don’t get whatever I’m going for, I am not upset with
myself.
A writer friend and I are going to attend a workshop on
applying for a
certain grant. This is a
grant I won in 1999 for nonfiction literature and in 2001 for poetry. In recent years, everything became
computerized. Submissions have to be on
line along with a bunch of other specifications. I know it is supposed to make things easier,
but for me it was a barrier. I haven’t
applied in several years. So I’m hoping
very much that this workshop removes barriers for me.
I will update you on these happenings. I very much appreciate your
interest.
I’ll not get into all the things I am panicked about at the moment and, instead, leave this on a note of hope.
All this creativity swirling around you is leading to very good things! I’m so happy you chose this direction. Fingers crossed your funds follow quickly.
Oh Liz, I need your last sentence to come true.
