It looks like 2017 is coming to an end.

I've been sitting down and thinking about whether or not I achieved most or at least some of my goals for the year.

Did I put myself out there? Yes.
Did I get more paid work as an actor? Yes.
Did I try new things? Yes!
Did I meet new and exciting like minded creatives? Yes.
Did I think and worry less, and just get on with the show? Yes, and no.

I learnt so much from people, experiences and some setbacks. I leapt over hurdles, I somehow managed to juggle producing four films for three separate competitions in five months whilst still assisting others with their own separate projects.

My love for performing was probably what pushed me to get things done this year. I love taking on a new character, analysing their actions and words, then bringing them to life. I was fortunate enough to work with great directors and writers, who helped my characters and my skills flourish.

There are so many things I want to do next year. Because I'm heading to Peru in late June to teach English, I'm considering learning about documentaries or travel videos, so I can keep creating while I teach. On top of that, I would love to perform as much as possible before I leave.

Six months is both a short and long amount of time.

The last six months were my busiest of 2017, I hope that continues into the first six months of 2018. Look out world. Here I come.
