A little blog of backstabbing, lies, sex, friends, and the theatre.

Welcome to my little blog about backstabbers, lies, sex, friendship and the theatre. I highly recommend you check out the first blog post, titled Prologue, to get a feel for what my blog is about (other than the backstabbing, lies, sex, friends, and the theatre).

Authentcally me?

So, the purpose of my challenge to write a blog post everyday for the next two weeks was to begin to hone in my writing skills. I want my writing to be more authentic, and I need some practice at that.
    Maybe being an actor means that I can easily wear many faces, or maybe I act to hide my true self, or maybe I could analyze myself for several paragraphs. When it comes down to it, no matter the reason, I am uncomfortable in my own skin. I highly doubt I am the only person who feels this way. How does one even become more authentic?
     I can coach an eight-year-old on how to tap into believable emotions when delivering a monologue, and yet I can't seem to be real a lot of the time. And then the troubling question- does my lack of authenticity lead to the whole being disliked thing? Could be. I am hoping that by blogging and thinking daily, I might be able to find my actual authentic voice.
     Another fun question- will people like the authentic me? Who is that person? Who do I want to be?
