Where is Week Twenty Six?

Okay, time to fess up: I'm blowing this week off to crank out the last of my 31 Plays in 31 Days effort. I'm off to Vacationland as of Friday afternoon, so I need to post and upload six more of these suckers between now and then. CAN HE DO IT?

Check 'em out if you haven't! My favorites are probably Bad Day, Eh and How to Eat a Fresh Maine Blobster. Going Viral is also pretty funny.

In the meanwhile, here's a beautiful and eloquently stated piece about art and life and work and passion and also dinosaurs.

What are you working on?

Brainstorming Week Six

[Yep. Still at the brainstorming stage. I had a business trip and then got a cold, okay? At least I'm being transparent about this...]

Some of my favorite stories feature scenarios that may have actually happened or may just be in the character's head, but more important than "was it real or wasn't it?" is what they experience and how that changes them: Calvin and Hobbes, The Chronicles of Narnia, Angels in America, The Life of Pi, and probably dozens of others that have shaped me in some way. Where the Wild Things Are. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Lilo and Stitch, kinda.

That's the kind of story I want to write. Maybe not a literal journey into the "psyche" but a fantastic journey that is a metaphor of some kind for what our intrepid heroes struggle with. Did it happen or didn't it? Doesn't matter.
