The Importance of Staying Busy

Whew! I've been out of "Blog" world for a week because of the hectic schedule of The BET Awards (I was working as a writer) and a reality pilot that I wrote shooting some scenes this week. Not to mention the other dozen or so projects I'm juggling. I say this not to brag, but to stress the importance of staying busy! This last February, I stopped working at E! News as a correspondent and just wasn't sure what would be next. By March, I was off to Louisiana to work on a sketch comedy show with Mike Epps, but that month of no work was brutal. What I learned since that time is that the busier I am, the more work comes my way. This means that even when people aren't knocking on your door or calling you for auditions, you have to keep writing, calling, and networking. Create your own work: write a play, do an improv show, or simply visit theater to get inspired. Keep moving and you will attract work! Or is it all luck?
