"Bird by Bird"

I've begun many things at the same time in my life, but I would like to attribute that to winter (and A.D.D). Lots of time indoors + many interests = several projects happening simultaneously. Ready for the list?

1. Book an indie film by the end of March (this is a big one, which is why it gets #1 spot)

2. Train for half-marathon April 3rd which I will be running with my incredibly disciplined sister (who doesn't know i'm 3 days behind on training)

3. Write every day-- this one you (the reader) will benefit from and also I feel will help hold me accountable for my other endeavors.

So for the next 8 weeks this will basically be my online journal. Yes, I will still throw in delightful anecdotes about life in Manhattan, but I promise to write everyday! Now I've got to finish going thru my list of casting offices that I will be dropping off my stuff later this week and preparing for my rehearsal this afternoon! Oh, I've just returned home from a yoga class which will count as my training for the day! Gotta balance out the running with the stretching right? And anyone that's done Bikram yoga knows this is hardly a day off!

I will appreciate any support (and gifts) you'd like to send my way, but mostly encouragement and prayers! Thanks in advance! Here we go!

p.s. the title of this entry is a book I'm currently reading by Anne Lamott

For those of us not in the business, what is meant by the term "book an indie film?"

It means I would like to get a part in an independent film. Not some huge studio thing like "Transformers" but something much smaller and hopefully more interesting.
