Starting Shot

This journal is more for me than for anyone else. I'm just really bad at maintaining a private journal, so I figure I'll feel more obligated to add to it if it's at least available to others. The primary goal of this will be both to practice my writing, as well as recording my writing process. However, nothing is really "off topic", so there will be glimpses into what I am thinking about or mulling over at any given time. And so, let's start off with where I'm at with various writing projects:

Once More, With Feeling – This is the full-length play I'm working on for this year's Infinite Monkeys Festival. I've got the full idea, and most of the skeleton dialogue. It's at about the half-hour point, but I'm estimating a length of about 50 minutes once I finish the first draft. Then it's just a matter of fleshing it out, snowflake-style.

Playwriting Class – There's a small idea I may be fleshing out. Based on the classic revenge tale (I just read the Oresteia), and the style is very much western in nature.

I'll also be posting turns of phrase or images I find interesting. I hope that my next project's evolution is completely documented here.
