The agents have come through with this whole meeting the studio exec thing. I'm a bit in shock. Who in this town ever keeps their word? And why? What's the point? Not to hate on Hollywood or anything, because I don't hate it. It's a game, like I said before, and I just stop playing if I get to a point where whatever I'm about to do turns my stomach. A lot of times I feel like I'm playing dress-up, not with high heels and feather boas, but with the career I want. But I feel like, if you pretend long enough (if you do the work, that is), you kind of become what you were only playing at before.
Maybe I've got this whole thing wrong, though. Feel free to disagree. And also to let me know what the hell I'm supposed to do/say in this meeting.
You are exactly right about the dress up thing. Welcome to life!!
At the meeting, be yourself.
Love,
Mom
Fake it 'til you make it.
