Schweet
Sorry for the bitchin' bitching last entry. Well, not so much sorry, more just like eh to all that now. It happens. Over it.
Life in general is good. I wish I hadn't hit a block on my novel rewrite, but I'm confident that I'll get past it. I just need a really good, really quiet, really empty day that is waiting for me to fill it up with words of adventure, coyotes, and teenagers falling from grace.
POINTS OF INTEREST:
-I took some initiative and responded to this ad about free theatre space. I wanted to do something with INPREGNITO, a play I wrote in 2008 that received a staged reading at Molloy last year. It's probably my favorite theatre piece of mine, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to bring it to life on my own terms. Especially considering how much of nothing is happening with the other play. So I got my friend Dennis to direct, and we're gonna be meeting soon to talk about cast. It should go up 11/19 and 11/21 in NYC if all goes well.
-I'm auditing a class at Molloy. Glad to be around those people again.
-Reading and loving "The Book Thief."
-I've been having ideas again. For a while, when I was deep into the novel, I sort of stopped having a lot of new ideas. This week, I came up with an idea for a short story that I can tell will work nicely... and also for a graphic novel, that I want to pitch to IDW sooner rather than later. Gonna talk to Erica about it in an hour or so, just to work out a few kinks.
-Comic-Con is soon. Going with good people, all three days if I can. Gonna meet some IDW folks, which should be a lot more than awesome.
-Mohonk with Erica in November.
-And here's the twist. "Montage" actually went damn well. An actress I know and love jumped in at the last moment and saved our asses. The footage looks great.
Been a good week. OH AND ALSO, PS... My mom is the nicest person ever. Thanks to her, I was able to hit a few bookstores today and use too many coupons to get an obscene amount of graphic novels. Read PREACHER and THE EXTERMINATORS. So, so, soooo fucking good.
