The Play is the Thing: Day Seven

It's done. Mission accomplished. I did it!

The first draft of my play is complete. 

That hardly means it's ready to be produced. But boy is it close.

I'm going to be ready for Hollywood Fringe next year.

Cesca mention a table read.

That sounds like something I might be able to do with Julie. 

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm doing it.

Cheers to me! Woo Hoo!

The Play is the Thing: Day Four

My ambition may be getting the better of me. I can see it all coming together and it's real and there is a vision of it on the stage that is astounding me. But I have not formal guide, no theatre training or geekyness to fall back upon. So I'm looking at plays that I've read. Some I've seen produced, some not. Who do I find speaking to me? Tony Kushner. I'm reading his Playwrite's Notes for Angels in America and they are making sense to me. Not that I see That's Why I Hold On as anywhere near in the same league. I mean, let's just get a grip. I'm playing t-ball while watching game tapes of the World Series.

But if you're going to find heroes 

you might as well pick the best:

Tony Kushner, Eugene O'Neill, David Mamet.

The Play is the Thing: Day Three

Nothing done in the computer today. Edited on paper. Went to class.

Feeling good about this.

The Play is the Thing: Day One

I am on vacation from my fountain pen job this week. The goal is to finish the play I've started and had in my head for more than a year. I'm going to finish the first draft by the end of the week. Today went well considering that I had to retype everything I already had due to an earlier glitch during my upgrade from Snowcat to Lion.

C'est la vie! All is well and I'm ready for tomorrow.

Over the next several months I'll get it ready to submit to the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2013. One way or another I'm going to get it produced.
