Untitled

I had set this goal to have this particular script finished by this weekend. Unfortunately, I did not complete that particular script however I did begin a new one that I'm feeling great about. This morning I couldn't sleep so I began writing and it felt so refreshing to have this scene easily pour onto paper (whew!). Its funny, I couldn't really name the piece. I wrote the title, then deleted it, re-wrote it, deleted it and then stared at the computer....trying to force a title and then laughed to myself. Its my piece, I don't have to put a title to it right now. D'Angelo titled his song "Untitled" and people didn't question it, not that I'm really trying to compare myself to D'Angelo.

I'm so anxious to have a reading for my group piece but its been challenging to get enough females to read. The story is set at a femme dinner and I am really aiming to have a colorful group of women throughout my show. Its feeling as if I can't wrap this group piece up without having a reading. Being such a visual person I'd REALLY like to see them in action so I can do more character building.

Feb 21st already, time is flying. I need to set a timeline so I can stay on top of writing and rehearsals. My ultimate goal is to have this entire show complete and ready to be performed by September. *exhale*


"I wish to live because life has within it that which is good, that which is beautiful and that which is love. Therefore, since I have known all of these things, I have found them to be reason enough and—I wish to live. Moreover, because this is so, I wish others to live for generations and generations and generations." - Lorraine Hansberry
