too long since i’ve been here. both a good and bad thing. good because it meant that i was writing ESPERANZA MEANS HOPE and bad because there were a lot of lessons I learned from writing the play. I think it was really beneficial for me to sign up for that full-length play writing class because I FINALLY go into the mindset of writing a full-length play. From structure to different ways to stretch a scene that covers all angles possible, stretches differences, and see where the other threads lie and the possibilities to tie them together.
