Krissie was on deadline, so Lani and I talked about life and business and other things and none of it is printable for public consumption.   I never once said, “So, Mesopotamia.”  Really, we’re pathetic.
But it’s October now.  We’re getting our acts together.  Really.

This was our first chat after our exciting trips (me, Alaska; Jenny and Krissie, Australia) and so much of it is us just being excited to be back together again. It’s heavily edited for your protection. Trust me, there’s some stuff we talk about that you just don’t want to know. But all the good [...]

I was having trouble with tone in my Shar scenes, they seemed to be so blah, so I decided it was collage time. I gathered papers in colors that had more of the vibe I was looking for, found three Christmas ornaments I could turn into the Three, and then threw in a [...]

The idea of collaborating was first presented to me by Mystery Goddess back in January. She and Jenny had been chatting casually about how great the three of us would work together, and before I even knew about it, I was in a collaboration.
I was, to put it mildly, a little trepidatious. Not because of [...]

So I’m thinking about Shar, about who she is and what she wants and about how her four scenes in the first act go together as she pursues her goal. What goal is that? Damn good question. In the first scene she wants to find out about Kammani Gula. In the [...]

We’ve revised 10b Shar: Goin’ to the Temple scene (all I can hear are the Chiffons singing, “Goin’ to the temple and we’re . . . gonna get busted, busted . . .”) , but we thought you might like to see the revision process, too. So here’s the very rough draft I sent Lani [...]

I’m in LA where I just found out that dogs are not selling, so should D&G ever be made into a movie, the part of Wolfie will be played by a Siamese with an overbite.   This is why I don’t spend much time in LA.

Okay, well, it’s just me that’s back. I’m here in upstate NY while Krissie and Jenny are having a blast in Australia and New Zealand, hanging out in hobbit holes and buying great shoes. Well, maybe not with the hobbit holes, but you get my drift. Anyway, since I went to Alaska and got to [...]

I’ve just realized that Lani’s in Alaska and Krissie and I leave for Australia tomorrow.   This could seriously impact the number of new posts on here for awhile.   It won’t be that we’ve given up, just that we’ve wandered off for a week.  Or two.  Well, eighteen days.  And since I’m using Pia’s scene to [...]

I forgot to take a picture of the post-its on the cupboards again in NYC, but I did take notes and I turned them into a Curio board so that we’d have what we worked out. Then I copied the board and took out all the notes after Act One so you could [...]
