What you said in the beginning reminds me of how I’ve heard even the most veteran screen actors say whenever they take on a new role, they feel like they’re just beginner actors. A beginner’s mind can be a good thing though – it can leave you more open to possibilities and prompt you to explore unconventional ideas and creative solutions.

I love this. I have an actor client that reminds me that although we believe actors must be the most confident of people, often they are the opposite. Perhaps it's true, that published authors are no more confident than other writers, what do you think, Fanen?

I would have to agree! Every project is different so in a way you're always starting fresh.

makes a person wonder why we try so many excuses. We know, deep down, it is only a roadblock of our own making, and yet, we create one again and again. xo
