I made a lot of headway on Voices.com today. No, I haven’t booked a gig yet, but I talked with my account manager today. For 45 minutes, we walked through every section of my profile and demos to optimize the details. In the end, I had info on demo creating and labeling, best descriptors of…

Podcasting Blogger is the news right now. It’s about 40% of what I think about working on right now. I’m a little tripped up with where to start. But I know that I want to get out information on how to began recording. That’s probably the most important thing to anyone who doesn’t already have…

I appreciated holidays when I had a full-time, government job. But now I appreciate when everyone else is at work, so I can get things done. I’m completely aware that this post makes me sound like a terrible person. Understood. Loud and clear. You will not get an argument from me. I am a selfish…

I played a lot of Words with Friends today. Definitely dodging being constructive. A cool Netflix documentary about the failed Fyre Festival. I was completely glued to it. There was something spectacular about watching something so big fail so much. I think part of the appeal was watching the created of it be delusional. That…

Don’t remember much of today. I do remember the part where my doctor won’t be writing a letter to validate my disabilities for self-employment election in the VR&E Program. That hurts. His reasons make sense. Just doesn’t help me move forward. I’ll have go to go each Doctor that has treated me for each of…

It was a face paced day. Actually felt like a Monday. I’ve met my VR&E counselor. I got a lot more information than I thought that I knew already. I see why they give you counselors. There’s 1000 documents surrounding VA programs like these, and you really don’t know what the important ones are. It…

Today was definitely a Tuesday. The theme this morning was get medical stuff together for the meeting with the Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor on Monday. Still a little nervous about it. Shouldn’t have read so many horror stories. It appears that your service-connected disabilities have to prevent you from getting a job similar to what you…

I wrapped up the second part of Defining Success Series on mikewriting.com today. It’ll publish in the morning. I’m sharing my personal and professional goals. That was a lot harder than I expected. Not the sharing part, but the listing part. I forced myself to pick “finish lines”. I mean I listed the goals with an estimated…

The get away was worth it. Brief. But I got some work done and a wrote up some new ideas. I like this theme. I might have mentioned it before, but it helps my writing about people when I’m around people. That’s been a missing element since retirement. I’m gonna add some other activities to…

Maybe it was time to leave the zip code. I haven’t been very constructive, but I have felt more light. Less weighed down by that feeling of needing to accomplish 40 things a day. I’m entertaining the idea of taking some hops – Space Available flights. To nowhere in particular. Just seeing what’s out there…

I’m going to stop labeling myself “better in small doses” and “not a team player”. Sure, I 100% believe it, but I feel like that kind of thinking is gonna hinder me in playing a bigger game – especially in the entrepreneur world. Maybe I’ll figure out different mantras to chant to myself so I…

I leaped and submitted auditions in Voices.com today. I set the target of 10 auditions and got 9. I’m good with that. We’ll see what happens. I expect to get picked up about 1 in 40. That’s because I’ve been listening to podcasts from other actors registered on the site. I gather that a good…
