I was texting my friend and we’ve been discussing people whom are in their late 30s-early 40s AND single. It’s not enough that we, yes, I’m including myself, and yes, it hurts to a degree, are without a partner in crime, you say love, i say crime, have that stigma. Well, instead of dwelling on…

Note Worthy
This is my beautiful cast and directors of my short play, Thicker Than Wine which opens in a couple of days with Bindlestiff Studio in San Francisco. I think EVERYTHING is starting to hit me now, which I’ll get into in a bit. But first off, notes and directors. So a couple of days ago,…
Oh Ratto
And before you get your delicates into an uncomfortable formation… – Ray Ratto, CSN Bay Area
Jabberjaw
A character who does not stop talking! OMG! someone who talks like a mile a minute, but takes little breaths in between. Says “Um” and “Like” A LOT! Even though this person is totally self-absorbed, this person isn’t even aware that He’s doing this. Yes, I’m making this male. He grew up as an only…
No Longer a Hobby
I’m blogging this from the Chumash Casino – which really means that my mind is totally on writing. It’s a scary thing when I’m deciding whether to pursue playwriting as another career. It’s scary because I don’t have a degree in it. It’s scary because I know that I have to leave my comfy area…

Compass a Little Off
Not sure where I want this career to go right now. Don’t get me wrong, I still love to write! As a matter of fact, I just finished a draft of my one-act, STANDING ABOVE PAJARO and feel good about the edits and reigning some stuff in. But in terms of what kind of writer…
What’s in a name?
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081016193925AArnZse The very first time I fell in love with the concept of giving characters unique name was watching a Playwright’s (whose name escapes me right now) showcase where a good friend acted in. The playwright used some of the most unique names, albeit those escape me now as well, but it’s important to note…
