New

I’m a new person.  Or at least in a couple of weeks I’ll be living a brand new life.  A new apartment.  A new voice coach.  Both these things are unclear.  I’m looking.  This can seem at times to be a setback just because at the beginning of the year I had thought by now this one woman show would be well underway.  It seems to be constantly under construction and reconstruction.  The only real thing I have are some dance routines.  I thought by now I’d have a couple of songs prepared.  But I got side tracked by that audition workshop that was supposed to help me get into a musical.  I feel like I’m constantly at square one.  Always starting from the beginning never, ever reaching the end.  But I guess like those positive things I’ve been listening to ‘You can never get it done and you can never get it wrong’.  I guess that’s supposed to be helpful.  I just feel like there’s so much on that to do list.  It’s hard to be focused cause I want to do everything.
