If it's important to you, you will find a way. If not you'll find an excuse.So, let's see what ended up being important to me this year.
ACTING/CAREER: Goals Achieved:5 Got Close:4
- Attend class unless working an acting gig or sick. *Mostly. Although, towards the end of the year when I was going to 4 classes a week I played hooky a couple times.*
- Work on scenes from plays I can put up. *I did work on scenes from plays, but we never got any of the plays up. Next month, I will be in "Boy's Life."*
- Read two plays a month. *I lost count. Some months I read more, other months I reread old plays. In the end I am happy with the number of plays I read.*
- Find and attend a good on-camera class to supplement my acting classes. *I attended an on-camera commercial class.*
- Complete editing on both my films before the PWFF early bird deadline. *One made it for the early bird deadline. The other made it by the late deadline.*
- Write and produce two more shorts this year. *We are halfway done filming one short I wrote. I didn't get a second one done, unless you count the 72 Hour Film Fest.*
- Continue to help at the agency once a week. *Went to the agency most weeks.*
- Find three casting offices that I can help out at as a reader. *I did!*
- Blog every Monday. *This will be my 47th blog this year. I did miss a couple weeks and some weeks were late - but I think that's an okay record.*
- Do something exercise-like at least 4 times a week. *Haha, yeah, not even close.*
- Cook at least 3 homemade dinners a week. *I didn't keep track, some weeks I made dinner every night, other weeks we ate more fast food than I would like to admit.*
- Make my own cleaning supplies. Including laundry detergent and Windex. *I made both detergent and Windex. Plus, I tried to use cheaper, more natural cleaning products like baking soda.*
- Do one craft per week. *I made a lot of crafts, but by halfway through the ear the one a week goal was too much - plus, I didn't have room for all these crafts.*
- Go see/do one cultural thing per week. *I did a lot of cultural stuff this year, but again the once a week goal was overwhelming. I am happy with the amount of culture I got.*
- Work on those novels. Write 2 pages a day and reach 300 pages of a rough draft by August. *Nope, not even close.*
- Have friends over at least twice a month for movie night, dinner party, etc. Can be low-key. *We had lots of small events throughout he year including Walking Dead nights and movie nights. I am pleased with our social life this year.*
