tribute shows and

I'm in this show tomorrow. It's a tribute to playwright Robert Patrick. You probably know his play Kennedy's Children.  I have the opening monologue. It's 14 minutes long for chrissake! Lordy the things I agree to do :)  HOWEVER it has been fun being an actor and not something I wrote. (Speaking of which I have a new idea for 2 new solo shows: How to be a Diva in the 21st Century and Nerd Anarchy. I'm insane. But when the muses stop by the very least you can do is jot down what they say) (Actually to second parenthetically note something, which s bad grammar but you don't care, I read a cool article about Inspiration being a Hoax....

Desert with agenda

Yes it's true: I've run back to my little desert cabin again! But this time it's more for joy and less escape. No really. I just like being silent. Not that I'm not working. Come on I am me! I finished a short and outline and came up with a new twist to an old story. I wrote a western outline a while back. (Prob because my infatuation with the desert more than westerns.) But it never really gelled. Then there I was, out in the sun, thinking about magick. And I thought "How come whenever anyone writes about desert magick they always go so Native American? What about desert faeries?" So I got thinking and quickly came up...

Concepts and finishing lines

Been busy. I started this blog to help people keep track of things I'm doing and I can't even keep up. ha ha. I haven't been writing a whole lot just designing and planning like crazy. Well that's not entirely true. I wrote a cool short I think I'm shooting late Spring. It's called Medea in Exile. I think this might just be the last Greek thing I do for a while (meaning a year or so :). I FINALLY developed an art concept for Sassy Scarf so now I get to format, budget and hire an artist. It seems a LGBT (an LGBT??) artist would get the story better but not necessarily. I might just be being overly protective,...

Retreat!!!!!!!!

Happy 2013 and I'm hiding! Just kidding. Well maybe not. I rented this awesome cabin in Joshua tree for the month to get some writing done! Top of the list is "Good for 1 Fr" a children's book about a kid deciding what kind of person he wants to be. And it's pretty darn funny. Also gearing up last pass at Equinox! It's going live in March. THAT'S SO SOON!!!!!! So if you don't hear from me don't be alarmed. I've just been abducted by aliens :)...

Genuis! (did I spell that write?)

Re-writes are a slow tedious business. Even when inspired it's painstaking. A little finagle in the prologue and all this other stuff has to change. Not like a ripple. Not some lovely pastural lake and shit. No pain in the ass anal-retentive snail paced editing. Each beat each phrase each assumption has to be looked at again. Truths become lies and facts that held a scene together look obvious and gimmicky. Don't get me wrong I love a good gimmick but it shouldn't do the can-can in act 2! "look at me bitches I'm a gimmick!" Please. So I've decided to have a sense of humor about it. Ha ha bloody ha ha. The Achilles...
