Theater: Jobsite’s Alice production…why I love social media, despite everything Apologies, I have to get caught up on these! Ray and I went to the Jobsite theater group’s production of Alice and it was excellent. Music, lyrics, and book by the troop themselves. The theater is tiny! There was a stage with wings, and it […]

Jobsite Alice…how to give yourself over and become a “natural” Ray and I are going to go to a black box production of the Alice stories, by a local Tampa theater group (Jobsite) on Friday. There will be singing, dancing, puppets, nuttiness. As much as I love Broadway shows–as much as I feel they necessarily

A couple of days ago, I got stuck on my current fiction project and went out for a walk to think about what I needed to do next. In the dark I whipped out my phone and started brainstorming, babbling about the nearest thing to hand when nothing particularly relevant to the story came to

I don’t run this human, I just work here…inputs and outputs…sweetness More adventures in “I don’t run this human, I just work here.” Over the last few days, I finished a scene I’d been struggling with for a while, and it went better than great. Just lovely. One of those “ah yes, you ARE an

The people who pick at scabs…”natural talents”…backstage self Another one. GAHHHHHHHH. I have stuff to do. But here goes. … Reminding myself this morning that I am utterly, recklessly, relentlessly, brutally fearless about some things (well, if and when I let myself know them) and that I also take it for granted that everyone should

The movie Polite Society…Banh Mi Factory…pain, resets, and woo Yesterday Ray and I went to the movie Polite Society, a Bollywood-esque Desi movie about sisters and kicking ass. All the characters are delightfully flawed. If you get a chance to see the move in theaters, do go! And watch for the stuff happening in the

Clearing out what I know so the unknown can slap me upside the head…what is mine, liminality maybe? This is another thinky one; I finished one section of the current book and, while it went well, there’s a big mess of plot threads to clean up in its aftermath and I don’t know where to

Josephine, a burlesque cabaret dream play…Ray’s new hair…Sarasota birthday jaunt I don’t know where to start, which is a good sign that I need to dump a bunch of tangled thoughts. I tried to keep this organized at least somewhat, but toward the end it gets very long and thinky. I needed to write it,
