Everyone knows making a living as an artist is hard...very hard. I've discovered there are a few ways of approaching this realization:
A. You can complain.
B. You can move forward undaunted and create your own opportunities.
I worked very hard as an actor, but also quietly, (and sometimes not so quietly) grumbled about the "injustice" of the industry and how unfair it was. Looking back, I wasted so much energy and time not turning my frustration into initiative.
We all know the arts is not a meritocracy - the best man or woman seldom wins on their merits alone.
So what? Now What?
Refuse to accept the status quo. Be bold. Be a mover. Be a shaker. Create your own content and thus opportunities. People will take notice.
And whatever you do, DON'T WASTE ANY MORE TIME.
