Artist. Addiction.

rsz_meganmadWelcome to Hollywood Woman, Acted By’s newest column about women in the arts. I wanted to apologize for my absence the past few days. Starting Acted By magazine has been one of the most exciting projects I’ve ever done. It’s also something I jumped into without being able to see the middle or end outside of a dream. In my opinion, dreams are where you are destined to go and reality is how you get there. Life and especially the creative side of life is about loving the process. And what a process it is…

Here at Acted By, we are about to go through one more major website make-over with content specifically targeting the Indie film sub-culture and will launch nationwide in less than two weeks.

Hollywood Woman is coming with us so please come back!

It’s late and I was finishing up another project (a book), where the final chapters to be written cover  drug abuse. I started thinking about Hollywood women…all creative women and addiction. As a woman who battled this demon off and on throughout my entire life, I wanted to share it with someone.

Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, Love, Pray gives a great lecture,  pushing writers to stray from the bad and strive for good because it unleashes the best writing.

Until next time…Keep Dreaming!

“There’s a crack (or cracks) in everyone…that’s how the light of God gets in.”  – Elizabeth Gilbert.

About the Author

Megan Rellahan is the 2008 award winning author of "Edgar Hernandez POW: An American Hero." Before a writing career, she worked as a Youth Counselor with gangsters locked up in L.A.'s Juvenile Halls/group homes. From daily online columns to Senior Editor positions at artsy print magazines, Rellahan created Acted By mag in 2009, and partnered up with writer/actor Paul Nyhart to hit this bad boy out of the park. She admittedly arrived to L.A. knowing nothing and a decade later, Rellahan has just recently begun to figure that out.
