Improv shows sometimes feel like a puzzle to me, figure it out, have fun while you’re doing it, commit and be yourself (does this seem antithetical?)

Tonight’s show felt like a show

Like the pieces fit together so naturally you lost sight of the individual pieces, forgot that there were any to begin with.

FUN!

Any advice for wannabe playwrights, writers, readers, or for anyone in general?

Be a crazy person. Make weird demands. Write the kind of work that you would want to read and see. (That sounds obvious, but I feel like we all fail to do that most of the time. I definitely do.) Have faith that the weird thing you really want to write that you think no one else will like might turn out to be the thing that everyone likes the most, to their and your surprise.

I’m on page 84 and 17,640 words.  Interesting!  I’ve started to go back and flesh out a lot of the earlier dialogue scenes.  It’s not falling apart yet?  There are parts that are undercooked, and emotional stuff with the main character that doesn’t track yet, but that comes through re-writing.  

I lost the word-count-a-day thing over the weekend, barely doing any work, just more mulling/thinking than anything.  Hoping to get back on the horse.  Wrote about 2000 words or so tonight.  Which is good.  

Still have to figure out more of the bigger things I’m working towards.  Hoping to get more done tomorrow.  I’ll be happier once I get to page 100 and keep going.
