After I left LA... it was like waking up. And so I moved back east and stopped auditioning.
I'm addicted to email, but other than that, there are practical things - being able to buy a book on the internet that you can't find in your local bookshop. This could be a lifeline if you live further from the sources.
I am never satisfied with myself and that is what keeps me going - I have no post-satisfaction.
