It’s time for the third third of the year, and this one is filled with plenty of transitions and uncertainty. September brings with it news that the pilot I did for A&E officially did not get picked up. It’s a bummer, but not completely unexpected. Plus, it is good to know for certain instead of be wondering.

Actually that’s not true. I really enjoyed the uncertainty. It added an element of excitement and made me feel kinda jetset and important –that I could be called to go back to New York at a moment’s notice (even if it was for basic cable). Now it’s just another road come to a dead end, another option unavailable.

I post about it here not to host a pity party (though I wonder if Evite has a template for it) but because the Aw, Craps are as much a part of showbiz as the Yays, and generally, whenever I write about mixed feelings, I feel better.

It’s all a good reminder not to let myself be defined by my work (or lack thereof) and how difficult that can be sometimes. This line requires me to put so much of who I am into the work, that if/when there’s a rejection, it seems downright sensible to take it personally.

But like I said, it’s a time of transition. That means this leads to something else. The year’s not over.

The Angels are in first place. There are two great shows I’m doing on Sunday.

The third third could still be the best one.
