Annie Wood – Making And Creating Good Vibes

Annie Wood is a woman of many talents. She’s an actress (film, television, theatre, and voice-over), writer, artist, and an award winning playwright. She’s also the founder of a volunteer website www.dogoodstuff.org, and she frequently contributes articles to the Huffington Post.

She’s charming, witty, and downright delightful and I’m fortunate enough to have her as a friend. Hopefully, after this interview you’ll adore her as much as I do.

Annie, you are a very talented lady – actress, writer, artist, and photographer—are you more passionate about one over the other?

Ever since I can remember I’ve been drawn to creating. When I was a little kid my obsession was about being an actress. I took my first class when I was ten and got my first agent when I was 12. I dreamed of going to Broadway. I was in-love with musicals. Although, I wrote my first story when I was eight and the joy of photography found me early on too. I often feel like I’m a writer who acts and creates visual art as well. Basically, I just feel passionate about living a creative life each and every day.
