She's Back!

Hey old friend, what d'ya say old friend? Are you okay

old friend?

It's been about a year since my last blog post. I'm not the best with following thru on things I start. I'm the kind of person, that without instant gratification I'm over it. Probably the reason I fell in love with theater. You stand on a stage and sing, act, dance and it brings reactions. People cry, laugh, feel and even clap, and you know it is literally because of you. It's in that exact moment, you've accomplished what you've set out to do. Done.

When I started this blog I thought, hey I love doing theater, and watching theater, so of course I'll love writing about it every week. But in actuality it really didn't give me that immediate reaction that I was expecting and craving. So I stopped. I let myself give up on something that I really enjoyed, but wasn't bringing in anything. It wasn't bringing in money, it wasn't bringing in lots of readers, it wasn't progressing my career. So I thought, this must not be worth my time. And I was wrong.

Not writing for the past year has made me realize how much I enjoy it. How much putting my words onto a page, and putting them out there for people to read; whether they do or not, was fulfilling to me. I have spent the last 26 years adoring one thing and one thing only. Live theater. I have spent time and money, happiness and joy, and lots and lots of crying over this one wonderful thing. So I've decided to bring this back. I'm holding myself accountable to this. I'm letting myself know that this is important, that this is fulfilling, and that this is a creative outlet for when I'm not performing. (Which is a lot of the time but that will be another post!)

So thank you for tuning back in, and hold me to it will ya!
