Pity Party 4 one Please


Since completing my first full time year in this business I am beginning to notice the Eb and flow of things.. What months are slow, which ones are a little more consistent in which areas, etc. However, one thing I've learned to do is, during those slow months when ur inventing new ways to create opportunities it’s also detrimental to celebrate what you’ve done. Whenever it’s slow I look for previously shot ads that I haven’t seen yet, Images from photogs that can complete something in my book, nail down some lose ends w/ a project that I still need to add finishing touches on, edit a marketing tool I currently have.. Basically try to perfect and bring together some of the lose ends that would typically remain lose if you didn’t have time to police the photogs, ad companies etc. .. Well what do you do when it seems like all of those things are stagnant as well?

Damn! I thought Oct was suppose to pick up. Saturday I re-organized and updated my cork board and the fact that I’m not busy really  heightens my desire to have the “INCOMING/PENDING section” clearing up… I’m so mad w/ photogs rite now, lmbo.. Grrrhh, give me something to look at and be proud of and remind me that I’m actually making some damn head way.. Reality is, waiting is apart of this business and you can't place your fate in anyone else's hands. So basically this pity party ends rite about NOW!!

I’m so quick to take something off my vision board when it’s achieved.. but, I think I’m going to start treating my wall vision board like the one I keep on my computer.. Instead of removing accomplishments I’m going to change their color or put a sticker on em or something.. this way I can celebrate my accomplishments each time I look at my “pending” lol..
They say it's always the darkest before the dawn.. I'm gonna celebrate exactly where I am, for i know I'm here at this very place just as God would have me.. So instead of searching for a flash light I'm gonna dance in the dark.. after all God wants to see how you wait, rite ;-) I'm shaking this off and yes this will include Sprinkles Cupcakes, Chick Fil A and a bunch of music.. but I'm excited and I hope my experience inspires you to do the same if/when your "pending" list seems to be the never ending list, lol.

No Sugar: Every experience is apart of the journey and should be respected as such.. Every moment of the search is an encounter with God, so I don't wanna take one step w/ my head down and miss his presence, for he is here through it all. 

Thanks so much for your continued support and If you haven't LIKED my face book

HE'S PROTECTING ME FROM MYSELF

While washing my face last night I got excited! Literally, God’s plan just smacked me in the face. No, I don’t have his plan figured out but I was able to draw a parallel. As I walk this ‘faith based life’ I am constantly drawing parallels. That’s it! My faith is clearly a reflection of the many reasons he has given me throughout my life to trust him today and forever more.   So when it hit me last evening, I couldn’t help but get excited about his presence.   To catch you guys up to speed.. I’m looking for a place, I’m updating my comp card, portfolio and business cards. I’m shooting a webseries, I’m preparing for a pretty big meeting with someone I truly respect and admire and I’m auditioning ohhh and I’m wearing a ponytail, haaaa! Any whooo, I realized that this is one of the times in my life when God is protecting me from myself.           “There was a time when I would have said yes to that engagement. “ ...

Video 1 or Video 2 or neither one

Ok So this is the meat and potatoes of why I created Nikiva Dionne please add sugar.. The video sharing. I hope this works out because, I am totally still on training wheels with this blog thing. ANYWOOooh Today I took an extremely drastic step towards my dreams. I quit my job. I know, long story I'm not into detail sharing rite now. But, needless to say. I came home and I have been on my computer working for 6 hours straight. Every time I want to stop, i remember i don't have a job, and I keep going,lol.. But on my to do list for tomorrow was to work on my relatively new monologue tonight and be prepared to post the video tomorrow. Well, overly ambitious and feeling the burden of no definitive pay check, i started taping tonight. Only, this is uncut!!! No seriously, wife beater, hair pinned up, no make up uncut. I was going to let the hair down and make it real "model" like for the video but than I remembered. MAKE THE TRANSITION NIKIVA.... U are not work...

New Monologue- VIDEO FEEDBACK

Ok so below is a new video that I NEED YOUR FEEDBACK on. I think I really love this monologue. This is my FIRST rendition of it. If you guys think it's naturally good, meaning it's already believable, than i'll continue to work on it an develop it into an audition piece.  When I was taking scene study classes our instructor before she gave any feedback would ask the class... Did yall believe her? After all, that's what this is about. Was the performance convincing? Did this person appear to be someone who is going through this situation. These days I'm really working to find monologues that I'M IN LOVE WITH, that I can 'go into' at the drop of a dime, if i run into a director and they wanna see something. (yeah, I do stuff like that.. ) I remember i auditioned for a runway show in time sq. in front of espn zone and duane reade. LMAO I booked the show... so heyy 1st rendition from nikiva dionne on Vimeo . Listen, i've said t...
