Weekly Report

Well, last week seemed to fly past in a cyclonic rush of hours. And, if truth must be told, I was slack. I wasted a lot of those hours and yes, I feel bad about it so you can just keep your judgment to yourself about all that.

But I had a stern talking to myself yesterday morning and got back on the horse. So to speak. There were no actual horses, but you knew that already ... didn't you? Can you see how easy I find procrastination. You give me a tangent and I am riding that thing until it is quite literally dead.

However, the highlight of last week was writing THE Scene. If you don't know what THE Scene is, then you are obviously not a writer, because all writers, regardless of what they write know about THE Scene. It's the one that is going to nail the project and bring it all together. If you gave it time it would also end world hunger, come up with a cheap alternative to the use of fossil fuels and know instinctively how to make your life better in three easy, painfree steps. Last week, I wrote the scene for New Light Shine and it made me happier than, well, think of the happiest thing you know. Got it? Yeah, happier than that. I know. Ridiculous.

This, I know, doesn't sound like a lot, but trust me, when you get that scene and it works, the whole play that sits around it starts to do its business. By this, I mean that it starts to find ways of linking itself together and becoming A PLAY instead of a HUGE BIG FREAKING MESS. And this what we want.
