Slow Times

I figure it’s important to update this blog on a relatively consistent basis, and I haven’t posted an update in a few weeks. I also think it’s important to reflect on the journey, even if I feel like I’ve hit a bit of a roadblock. Ever since I finished the pilot back in July (which I actually got an IMBd credit for, so, that’s pretty cool), things have been awfully slow on the whole career front.

To focus on some positives for a moment, I have been making some significant lifestyle changes over the past couple months. I’ve been eating much healthier, working out more consistently, and just generally been in a better state of mind. From a purely physical perspective, things have certainly been on the up and up.

On the other hand, it’s also hard to say life has been a total cakewalk as well. The grind of sending my resume out to just about anyone who’s willing to take it is, admittedly, starting to wear on me a bit. Rejection obviously comes with the territory of this career, but I’d be lying if I said every “No” didn’t feel slightly feel like a knife in the heart. The motto of: “It’s nothing personal, it’s just business”, really doesn’t apply here, because who I am literally is my business. It’s what I’m selling. And I’ll be honest, it’s not getting easier.

I’m sure I’ll look back on this post at some point to reflect once again after I’ve made some more significant progress in my life, and will most likely laugh at the pessimistic overtones present throughout, but until then, it’s back to the application grind. Updates to come!
