In hard economic times, many of us are doing what we can to make ends meet. But are you still doing what you love? Are you still able to act, shoot or write? Do you have any free time to commit to your passion?
I know we have to work to make money to live. But I think there's a fine line between working and devoting mental energy to jobs that were initially supposed to simply "pay the bills".... I'm not saying that you shouldn't do well at your day job, but I am saying that if you're more concerned with your next promotion than your next audition, your focus may have shifted. And that's okay, I'm just challenging you to take a look at your situation realistically. Do you turn down acting work because you have to work your day job? Have you stopped auditioning altogether?
If you're still interested in acting (if not, that's okay too!)? Honestly reevaluate your priorities and try to make more time for acting. Even if it just means shooting sketches over the weekend or taking a class one night a week, dedicate your energy to your craft and watch how the opportunities come to you!

Great blog! I've come up against that one as well. Committing to the day gig, to the extent that what you came out here to do, is being relegated to 2nd class citizen status... Since the lay-off its been alternately scary and envigorating, giving as much as I can to my craft! I hope to catch you and EDF3 @ iO tonight! Break a leg! Cheers!
Well said. Whether it be a very small step or a huge leap closer to one's goal at least it's something. The small efforts add up to big ones. Keep on keeping on even when the going gets tough. Thanks for the reminder Robin!
