Here I am New York! I've been here for a month now and I have enjoyed every minute! I found a wonderful apartment, got an awesome job, and had an industry showcase all in the first week! I have been to see Kinky Boots, Casa Valentina, Violet, Rocky and three workshops/readings! I went on a sunset cruise for my alma mater and I even got a chance to escape to Long Beach! If you've never been, it's quite lovely. I also experienced my first ever gay pride and Bryant Park movie night! And of course I can't forget the great food (and not so great food) because if you know me even a little, you know
that I love food!
that I love food!
Getting to know the city will take sometime for sure, but I have every intention of getting the city to know me! As any artist can tell you, relocating to a big city (or even a new city) is a huge change and it's one you have to embrace wholeheartedly. I am currently submitting for everything under the sun because as a very wise friend once told me "submit for everything" because you can always say "no!" No one is going to hand-deliver your dream to you, you have to actively be chasing it everyday. Most importantly, BE POSITIVE! If you don't believe in yourself than how can you expect others too?! Most, if not all artists are self-critical, this is just by nature, and finding a way to make that criticism constructive can move the vast mountains of productivity right along. So fellow artists, stay strong, believe in yourselves, and just DO it (whatever it is you love to do.)
