I really wish all my writing wasn't randomly distributed across a hundred different notebooks scattered all over my apartment.

So this happened.

I've already emailed some of you about this, but if you happen to be free this Sunday I'm doing a monologue in the Ten Minute Play Festival. It's actually a multimedia piece, and I've just come back from recording the vocal part (it's an internal monologue). It's based on my short story "The Other Magnus Lundquist ( Read more... )

I sent off a query for The Ephemeralizing Device, a bunch of stories and a haiku I wrote on the train, in the hopes that the Friday the 13th/Full Moon/Pride conjuration will work in my favor. I try not to be superstitious but in this business it's impossible. I accidentally hit send on the query before I meant to, but I checked and it was all ( Read more... )

2013 seems to have been an atrocity for a lot of people, but for me it's been pretty great. I definitely accomplished my new year's resolution of having more sex, though the coffee table I broke on new years day was to be the only coffee table I would break all year ( Read more... )

Throughline, the theatre company in whose contest I am a finalist, has posted more information about the New Play Showcase on their main page. It's in Lawrenceville and it starts at eight. $20 sounds like a lot to me to watch excerpts of various plays, but... light hors d'oeuvres and drinks?

I finally heard back from the playwrighting contest I entered last summer and I'm a finalist!

Some of you probably remember Cocktails in Hell when it was a (not very good) short story. It's the one with the lesbian flapper ghosts. I came back to it last spring and spent a good chunk of the year expanding it into a full length play, which I'm ( Read more... )

I set up a tumblr about a month ago, which is pretty much my base of operations now, though I still check my friendslist here almost every day. It's http://darkartsandcrafts.tumblr.com/, if you're interested, though I mostly just reblog skeletons and pictures of David Bowie and sad flowers and shit ( Read more... )

Is anyone else planning on doing Script Frenzy this year? The website doesn't seem to want to let me sign up. I'm hoping to write a full length tragedy, but I don't have any ideas yet, so we'll see what happens.

I drank an entire bottle of Beaujolais Neauveau, which means I am drunk enough to want to update my Live Journal. Lucky you! I wrote about 30,000 words this year. I like Weatherby and Featherstonhaugh and Jamie and Control enough that I will probably try to do something with this mess in the future, but I'm not going to push myself to shit out ( Read more... )
