“What did you think? Did it meet your expectations?” It’s been a long minute since someone’s asked me that about a new work. It feels like it’s been forever since I’ve even written something new. So DEVOTED, my 10-minute timeless love story told through time, officially opens tonight. I’m not going to be there for…

Goals for 2018
It’s so easy to quit. Especially now that I have some semblance of financial stability. Seriously though, why do I need to keep chasing after this pipe dream of being a playwright when the possibility of being good in another field is there? That’s my conundrum du jour. In short, I’m confused about life and…
Artist vs. Entertainer. Which one do I want to be considered as?
So I posted on my Twitter account (@consplayspace) that last weekend I thought a lot about where I fell, or wanted to fall, in the Artist/Entertainer spectrum. First, I have to consider myself as an artist cuz the very nature of creating something out of nothing, the blank page/screen, constitutes and defines myself as an…
WELGA – The Program

It feels like the only way to find myself is to throw myself into doing MORE things… which ultimately feels like I’m spinning into more madness, isolation, and fear. Backing up: I’ve committed…
Finding My Way
So, I’ve been accepted into the Theatre Bay Area ATLAS Program for Playwrights. As defined by me, the ATLAS program is a series of workshops provided by Theatre Bay Area which helps theatre artists take their art to the “next level” which defined is simply what you want to make of it as long as…
I need my life to mean something…
Took me long enough to realize that this statement should be my compass in finding the life I need to lead… Stay focused. Stay alert. Stay tuned…
Trying…
Lately this playwriting life has been so trying. It’s been over a year since I graduated and don’t feel like I’m no where close to where I want to be. So for the last couple of days I’ve been in a state of depression. And it really sucks hence the name depression. Last week, I…
A Switch in Focus
Combining my love for writing and travel has seriously changes my focus on my career as a playwright! A recent trip to Arizona has completely reignited this flame I have to share my work with others. It’s relavatory actually! Though i don’t do so much of it, I love the process of traveling. I don’t…
