I'm for people bettering themselves, no matter who they are and where they are, doing all they can to be all they can be.
I try to write everyday. I do that much better over here than when I'm teaching. I always rewrite, usually fairly close-on which is to say first draft, then put it aside for 24 hours then more drafts.
In the U.S., with very few exceptions, actresses older than 35 are simply discarded.
