EPISODE 19: FINDING NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, A Play In Process

  If you are still with me, thank you, thank you! We are so close to the end and I could not have done it without you. Even you who don’t say anything, I know you’re there and it means a lot to me.   I don’t have much to say by way of introduction […]

    Subscribe, subscribe! (Just fill in that little form at the right). Once this play is over, I promise you won’t be bombarded with posts from me; in normal times, I don’t do one a week, but I set this schedule for myself in order to get this play written. I’ve liked the idea […]

EPISODE 17: FINDING NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, A Play In Process

  Thank you to the people who subscribed this week! And if you haven’t yet… look to the right 🙂 I mentioned in an earlier post about my end-of-play checklist. One of the things I had on it was wanting to add more of Katie and Cha-Cha coming up with nail polish colors for fun. […]

EPISODE 16: FINDING NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, A Play In Process

EPISODE 15: FINDING NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, A Play In Process

  Usual plea; please subscribe to the right. 🙂 It occurred to me this week as I do the hard work of getting through to the end of this play that what protects writers in the drafting phase is knowing that nobody has seen the work yet. We have a way of taking bigger chances […]

  Welcome back and please forgive my usual plea to take a moment to subscribe at the upper right! Or, if you’re on NPX, you can leave a recommendation so that others might start tuning in. This has been a TOUGH week for writing.  It was my anniversary and my husband’s birthday and I had […]

EPISODE 12: FINDING NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, A Play In Process

    Welcome back! If you have not yet subscribed at the right, please do! It helps to know that I’m not writing into a void. Thank you!     After last week’s revelations, we move into something of a utility phase. I need to get these girls out, but also get cement some more […]

EPISODE 11: FINDING NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, A Play In Process

  Lots of changes here! If you haven’t subscribed yet, please take a moment to do so at right. And if you need to catch up, start here. Thank you!     This point was bound to come. Playwright readers know it well: the messy middle. As if first drafts aren’t messy enough—too much dialogue, […]

EPISODE 10: FINDING NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, A Play In Process

    Hello! Thanks for coming back! I do know that there are people reading, if not commenting, so if you’re one of them, please take a moment to subscribe at the right. Thank you! We left Cha and Katie in a pretty specific place last time, so there’s not much to do here except […]

EPISODE 9: FINDING NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, A Play In Process

    Is anybody still with me? This was a hard week; even to get three pages out is hard. It’s hard to find quiet space, hard to find creative space… You know, right? It’s not like playwrights don’t always have doubts but this situation is creating them on so many different levels that make […]
