Right. 2 glasses of red wine in. Time for some honesty. Cried buckets about my career to my step-dad on the way home, thinking I should quit. He said: "You should do it cause you love it, not because somewhere along the line you 'might' get a 'break'. But because you love it"

So. #OliviaColman started her career at 26. Started Peep Show at 29.... I conclude, after being told last year by a colleague 'you need to hurry up, or just play mother roles' - Longevity dear ones, that's the goal.... marathon not a sprint 😜💕

A client just said: 'So you given up the acting now or what?' Well, Susan; Despite not working for long periods, or being 'slim build' or a triple threat, no TV credit or should I say a credit YOU deem worthy, or earning 'enough'... I'm afraid not, SUSAN. Cause I f***in love it.

Last year, I received feedback from an audition: 'Loved your performance, however an actress of slim build is needed to be a believably attractive romantic lead.' That is bull💩. Have a good week all - believe in yourself, not others limitations. 💪🏻

Funny industry isn't it? Acting - You work PROPER hard, put your heart & soul into every email, then pretend you're not that bothered so you don't "stink" of desperation... you know what? I reek. I'm proper stinky. I want this more than anything. I am DYING for every role 🤣😭

Everyone shares their triumphs on twitter but sometimes you do have really bad days. Rejection email comes in whilst you're caught in the rain on the way to the day job with nothing in the pipeline. Sometimes it all catches up with you. But then there's tomorrow...

Draft those reach out emails. Look up the next acting course. Listen to those podcasts. Plan your outfits for the new headshots. Tweak your online CV. Book your next theatre trip. Apply for those opportunities. All whilst sat at the desk of your day job. Go on. I dare you. 🥰😘

I've completely lost the plot. Am I even supposed to do this? Do I just pack it all in? Do I save up and start all over again? Do I make the short film? Do I start my own business... doing what? Do I wait ten years and try again? I have absolutely no idea.

Nice advice on @IMDb - 'Until you're commanding $20 million per film, you're not entitled to have a big ego. Don't reject parts you think are too small or insignificant because you're too busy looking for your big break. Judi Dench won an Oscar for six minutes of screen time.'

When you're in a 'dip', the 'peak' is coming. Zero projects lined up. No agent... but the 'peak' is coming. In the past month 4 auditions/2 workshops/10 days assisting a casting director... ALL amounting to 'nothing'.... but the 'peak' is coming. And I cannot wait 😊🎉🤞🏻
