Creating Your Own Work

Is essential. Whether you write, shoot, edit or improvise, you have to put yourself out there. No agent or casting director is sitting around trying to find ways to make you famous (unless you're REALLY lucky), and even then the parts may not reflect what you really want. Find out who you are and team up with those artists around you to create work you're proud of. Here are some ideas:

* Start a play reading group that meets/performs monthly.
* Meet with fellow writers 2x a month to discuss new ideas.
* Attend plays with the same group of actors and post a blog of your critiques.
* Meet with improvisers once a month at your house and just play.
* Shoot a short film with your digital camera or your phone and put it on YouTube.

Have fun!
