This isn't exactly cutting-edge reporting. I mean, my reporting. This is more like: a while ago I read something real and I remembered it just now and thought it would be a good thing to share.
You know Pam on NBC's The Office? She's such a sweetie, isn't she? She's played by Jenna Fischer. And Jenna has a blog over at TV Guide.
This is from a few months back, her most recent entry. It's a good one. It says "I'm real" - and when someone comes across like that, when you read something where the writer shelves their ego and you get the feeling they'd really like to help you, and motivate you, then that's gold.
Jenna's got it going on....
I know how hard it can be when you first get out here. Go out and meet as many people as you can. Create a family for yourself, one made up of creative, supportive people. And don't stop your personal life for your career. I know a lot of people who wait to do things — visit family or friends, have relationships, get married — because they are waiting until they "make it." Or, they don't go to a friend's wedding because they might "miss something." Life is too short, and it's not worth it in the end. I always took off and did that stuff, and it turned out fine. I was often anxious and worried in the process, but I did it. I believe that in order for my professional life to move forward, I have to keep my personal life moving forward as well.
It's all here.
