An update

For anyone keeping track, my practice challenge is going really well so far. I have yet to miss a day and I'm pretty psyched about that.  I can be horrible about being disciplined at times, but when my voice teacher looked at me last week and said, you know, deal with it...you're a grown up now (not said harshly at all, just honestly and she knew it was what I needed to hear), I knew I was ready to rise to the challenge.  I knew that I had to.

I did come pretty close to missing a practice this past Saturday because it was my birthday and the day was full and a little scattered and because I did not plan ahead to fit my practice in, the day went by and I came close to really thinking I wouldn't fit it in.  I kept thinking, well, it's my birthday...people will understand. But, when it came right down to it...I knew I wouldn't be okay with having missed a day. I came home way too full from a fantastic dinner here and just a wee bit tipsy but I still took the time just before midnight to get a quick practice in...so my streak is not ruined and my challenge is still on!  It seems like such a silly success, but there you have it!

Also, further to my post a while back about networking, I am still without an agent. Though the contact I made was great in trying to link me to an agent, it did not pan out like I had hoped and so the hunt continues.  I am going to have to take networking to a different level and pursue contacts in a more proactive way.   So, if you get an email from me shortly to discuss how you can help, consider yourself warned!  Wish me luck, this is definitely where I find myself out of my comfort zone.

As always, thanks for your continued support!  My boss today threatened that I'd be a lifer, so I'm feeling especially queasy about that prospect and hopefully that turns into an added dose of determination shortly!!  Your encouragement always helps!!
