Ready Set Write

I've had aspirations to write a musical for quite some time, but the question of what to make the musical about forever plagued me.

There is a need inside of me to write music, but without a strong subject matter as my compass, I would be wandering aimlessly.

I returned to the advice of experienced writers: write what you know - make it personal & finally one day... Eureka! My idea was born!

I don't know how ground-breaking this musical concept will be perceived, but hey, it's a start!

This afternoon I began jotting down song titles and lyrics to some tunes in my head & it felt really good! I will likely have to engage the services of our musical improv pianist to really help me flesh out the nitty gritty, and also help with the process of putting notes on the page, but I'm really excited about the prospect of this new process.

At this point I've decided that if I can't bring myself to Broadway, I'll bring Broadway to me!

Custom Meeting

Custom Meeting

My job search continues on both fronts. As I prepare my one-woman show in April I am trying to find more and more ways to ensure that all the cards are stacked for and not against me. It has become more and more clear to me that I have to fight the good fight from all angles by auditioning for whatever I can as well as producing my own work.

This morning I met with a headhunter from a staffing firm in midtown. I was hopeful that our meeting would yield something perfect for me, however I was trying to keep my expectations low. After all I've been here before and I know the odds.

The headhunter was perfectly nice & assured me that I am a prime candidate for an array of Administrative positions. "Perfect," I thought - "Now show me the money!"
Easier said than done, of course. All in good time, I suppose. In the meantime, I just have to keep pluggin' along.
