My Story Ideas
My first step in writing a play is to figure out what I’m going to write about. So, here are story ideas I’ve build for the last couple of years.
31 Ideas for 31 Plays? Uh… okay.
So an interesting thing happened while I sat at my laptop ready to start Play Numero Two: I kept sitting in front of my laptop waiting for a play to come… and never did. Actually, I think it’s because my mind is flying in a lot of different directions that I’m not able to focus…
The Living Room Play. Oh, that’s how one’s done.
