BOA in SF
I know. I know. It’s been a while. Tonight I went into the city to watch a friend’s play as it is featured in Bay One Acts Festival by Three Monkeys at the Eureka Theater. Not saying this because he’s my friend, but his was the best play. It’s called “Toss of the Hat” by…
the mightiest force known to exist
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what being an artist means to me. This sprang up from watching AOTS (America is on the Stage) and watching the potential there. I say potential not in a belittling or condescending way, I admire them for what they are DOING, but potential in terms of being able…

Back in the Saddle
The last couple of days of writing has been amazing! I actually forgot what it feels like to get lost in writing the words that come out of my characters mouths. It’s actually getting to the point where it feels like I have to “kill some of my babies” because of length. I have this…

Notes from Stories High
Just wanted to post these notes from the latest Bindlestiff Studio’s Stories High Reading series for my 10-minute, Leaving My <3 In SF. Even though I don't know who wrote these, I'm very thankful for the time that they put in to write anything down! Thanks! Now, to get the final done soon. Hopefully, I'll…

Leaving My <3 In SF - Reading
So the reading of my short play, LEAVING MY <3 IN SF, went well last night. I was also very pleased with, not only the actors, but also the person who directed it. After it was read, he came up to me and as always, gave me some really good notes. And I whole-heartedly agreed…
