"Atrocious" is, of course, referring to my ability to update this blog in a consistent and timely manner. I'm not going to make any promises (as I have in the past) that it will get better. But I will promise you this post. Just this one.
It's been a busy few months in the writing sector. I'm trying to get three one-acts ready to go. A group of friends and I are planning on self-producing them. Dates, time, and venue TBD. However, we cannot get started on the act of production until all three one acts are written. So far, two are "finished." That leaves one of them unfinished. And I'm stuck. I've been staring at it for weeks.
People are waiting for me to finish them.
I'm feeling a sort of pressure I've never felt before. Not just the pressure I put on myself concerning the quality of work but the pressure of everyone's desire of a new project. It's this pressure that continues to remind me that I need to go to grad school. I don't quite have the discipline to (apparently) get these one-acts done in a timely manner. 'Sides, I love school. It's time to go back.
I have been auditioning a bit too. Not enough. I feel like I'm trying but not trying hard enough. As in, not looking for enough auditions or going to them. It seems writing has taken over my life recently. I don't want that to be the only thing I do though.
On an up note, I am now on the board of Northwest Playwight's Alliance. I'm also having a short piece of mine read at their monthly reading series tomorrow night. So if you are around and like free events come see "The Last Tree" at Seattle Rep. It starts at 7pm and there will be another play being read as well. Finally, some of my work being seen in Seattle.
One step at a time.
