brand new day

acting, monologues, slider, storytelling
WOW. A lot is happening. I might almost be sane. LOL. NEVER!!!! I finished Jeremiah. I know. I wrote a second novel while taking a break before editing the other one.  Folly's War is pretty awesome but it's also kinda dark and my heart just hasn't been brave enough, recently. So I wrote a funny thing. HA!!!! Jeremiah: Magical Slut of Midgard is hysterical It made me laugh almost every day for the past month. And I really needed that. I'm gonna publish it for kicks. And maybe someone else wants to laugh??? I'll post photos from the shoot with Joshua, soon. Daaaaang he's handsome. I remained a professional!...

Dreaming of a dry-eyed day

Stories, storytelling, writing thoughts
Been actively trying to cheer up, yea, it's not working. LOL BUT I  don't think it's getting worse. Wow OK this wasn't supposed to be a cry for help. It's just all so much. I wish I could go away for a week and think. What' this weird thing you call process? How dare you, Sir! Ok Let's talk about the good shit. I finished FOlly's War! I know, right? Fucking finally. Of course, now I have to edit, proofread, hate it and rewrite and love it....

New year the good and the bad

by David LeBarron
acting, performance, storytelling, theatre
Happy 2021. RIGHT? Good things are stewing but old stuff is lingering. Been a ride my friends. I wept repeatedly when Biden/Harris were sworn in and even over Jennifer Lopez. Didn't see that coming. I booked a commercial. That was very stress inducing but way cool! Cher and Dave are a Hollywood hit!  I kind of thought I might be nervous. Nope. Just did the work. I am 75,000 words into Folly's War. It's almost done. YAY!  Been crafting like a fool to do SOMETHING during all this horrible shit. I know time will heal the pain. It has to.  I also outlined Survival of the Half Tongue Tribe. I'll definitely write the first episode soon....

it got harder….. ugh

This pretty much broke me. Lars took his own life on Sunday the 29th. It’s been a really rough couple of weeks. I actually Googled can you run out of tears? (Note: no. Your body makes up to 50 gallons a year.) I am only recently thinking clearly. I don’t necessarily believe s an artist and witch I feel things more deeply than others. BUT I cannot imagine it being much worse. As a community healer and producer I stepped into organize a memorial and be there for as many as I could and maintain my own mental health. I feel like I need to do some kind of tribute for him…but for now I guess the lesson is stay alive. Hang on. Keep breathing. Of course I immediately started writing a thousand things and made a new video project! Cause ya know not doing anything is NOT an option for me. So I’m making a bunch of short storytelling videos in Jan. I’m doing with Half Tongue Tribe guise. I think that’ll be more fun! And maybe scary? Or sufficiently weird? No idea but the shot concepts are wicked! I think Lars would like them. Half Tongue Tribe has been asked to write music for Genet’s Un Chant d’amour. I’m  enjoying it. I think I’m leveling up musically. I’ve also ben frantically arts and crafting.  Pics to come. Oh and I finished my video for class.

How does death effect me as an artist?

Ancestors of Story

by David LeBarron
acting, Stories, storytelling

This pic is of our Ancestor Table for Samhain! It was a great night and rite. We started here and sang/danced/drummed calling upon Spirits and specifically Gehde Nibo to help heal the fallen form violent crimes and those lost in the chaos and confusion of Covid. SO much is so bad. BUT as I am writing this (I just couldn’t with the stress of election to post Oct…) Biden won so there’s a glimmer f hope somewhere… I think. Anyway we continued our drums and laughter till we got  to a fire and performed for the spirits who wanted to party!! It was very cool. Also with my ADF group I we held an awesome Morrigan Dagda ritual before I left for JT. It too was lovely. I have been working a lot recently with ancestor things. Feeling connections. It’s always  been difficult for me…familial pasts….. I remember the moment I realized that my ancestors were also every queer. Every writer. Every bard. These are the ancestors of my spirit.  What connection do they bring me? And how do they tell my story and I theirs? What story is next?

I also reached out and found out I have been wrong for decades! Ugh we are not part Algonquin  but  Abenaki! Which makes so much more sense! If my maternal Grandmother hadn’t ben so… much of what she was, we’d have a tribal connection.
