Playing catch up 6 months into 2015! Fingers crossed that this year will be just as productive. Well, 2014 turned out to be a pretty good year! This year I had 8 One-Act Plays produced (1 play produced by 2 different companies 1 week apart from each other!), 2 Full-length One-Acts stage read, 1…

After three years of Grad School at San Francisco State University, I finally graduated with an MFA in Playwriting! Above I’m pictured with the 2 of the people from my cohort, Nara and Patricia, amazing writers too. I know that it’s been forever since my last post but I can say for certain that I’m back….
Read more...With only a year left of Grad School, I’m left with the inevitable question: What will I do with an MFA in Creative Writing? Let’s see, I can go into teaching. I’m not opposed to that, however, it behoves me to actually seek teaching (training) opportunities, di ba? But I haven’t. I don’t know if I could….
I like the character descriptions. Mine are only a couple of sentences tops, but as an actor or director reading these descriptions, I get a better sense of what the producers, casting people, and director are looking for. The descriptions are SPECIFIC and it helps that the producers of the film are whom the characters…
So I started to listen to the Narrative Breakdown Podcast and one of the topics they talk about is being an Outliner or a Pantser? Pantser? I thought that was what you called a person who danced around in their pants. No? No. From the podcast I learned that a Panster is someone who writes…
Happy New Year! Happy New Year! (I think I’ve lived long enough to know that a new year doesn’t really change a person since that person can “change” at ANY point during the year.) But with that being said, HAPPY 525,600 MINUTES (exact is 525948.766 min.) of EARTH’S ROTATION! 2013 has been a pretty good…
I haven’t been nervous lately. That’s a problem. Explanation: Last month I helped write the script for a multimedia presentation called OVER THE RAINBOW for an Filipina/o American Literature class. It was a devised work consisting of groups concentrating on poetry, video, movement, and skit groups. So, my group came up with a general outline…
Well, semester numero 3 is over at sfsu and I’m glad to say that I survived it. I wound up taking 15 units and after promising myself that is the last time I try taking that many units (along with having a part-time job w/ an internship), it’s looking like I’ll be signing up for…
Cleaning the house while watching Psych: The Musical on Xfinity OnDemand. I liked it more than the reboot of the Sound of Music. Still need to finish doing laundry and vacuuming before watching The Voice and getting a start on reading Medea and Antigone (or adaptations thereof) for possibly another project with a family member….
Well, this post feels like a long way coming. I guess you could say that this is a status report of the semester at good ol’ SFSU. For the most part, it’s been GREAT! I’ve written a lot of short stuff. 3 one-minutes, A TON of 10’s, and will be workshopping a longer one-act today….
