This Past Friday
I didn't post on Friday, because I had a bunch of work to do. Plus I was too upset to post.

Through my agent, I got a chance to audition for this small role. Now, I had been asking my agent for a chance to audition for something... anything! I finally got the call. I was to audition in front of the casting agent and a couple other miscellaneous people involved in the selection process.

Let me tell you. Never again! I thought I was through with acting after Friday. I sucked so bad at the audition, it was not funny. I really liked the casting director and thought she was a great person. She had me do a cold reading and gave me pointers/direction. Then I read the script again.

My GOSH. This character was supposed to have an emotional scene. I am bad at getting emotional, because I like to try and contain my feelings and not yell. Anyway, not a good situation for me (not a good situation for someone who can't act, like me).

I felt so disappointed realizing that I really couldn't act. Even after taking acting classes years ago (maybe I was just rusty?).

Part of the reason I was excited to audition was because I thought that maybe I could really make it as an actress. And as we all know, it is more exciting to read the blog of an actor than a screenwriter.

No, I take that back. Rance hasn't been that exciting lately (his guest-bloggists have, just not him).

So, I came back feeling like absolute crap. However, I was thankful that I was a writer and was able to participate in this Hollywood scheme somehow. Maybe I won't win an Academy Award for acting, just writing a screenplay. Ha, ha, I am a long way off from that, but that is one of my goals (see Rance & Rancette Go to the Oscars).

I am working on a screenplay right now. Not sure if I will unveil the plot. But at least that is going well.
