For the artist….
The odds of you being cast as a series regular (or booking consistent work) or your play being selected for production by a large regional theater (or any theater) or your novel being published by a major publisher (or any publisher) or any kind of commercial success in the arts, etc…are terrible.
There are just so many factors that go into these kind of outcomes that are beyond your control and your talent. That doesn’t mean you can’t keep shooting for it. If it’s your dream, then by all means, go for it. Just realize what you’re up against.
But if you want to beat the odds every time out. If you want to control your destiny. If you want to lead an artistic life, then here’s what you must do…
…Create and produce your own work.
Create and produce your own work.
Create and produce your won work.
It’s the way. The only way.
