Writers!
What's the first thing you do when you sit down to start a new project? Post-research-phase i mean.

I always look up name meanings to find just the write combos of character names.

Playwrights (and other writers!): what helps you start out your plays with a bang? How do you like to grab the audience's attention?

My strategy in my current horror play is to have the stage be on fire at the beginning lol hbu?

Today was one of those magic days where I blinked and realized it had been 2 hours and I'd written 2500 words. The best feeling.

...and thanks to Morning Pages have an idea for a 5th one

Ok my #writer friends -- im going to start a #WritingSprint at 2:30pm edt (in about 3 minutes). 20 min intervals, 5 min breaks in between? Anyone wanna #write with me?

Just met with a #dramaturg to discuss my #ActuallyAutistic #horror #play HOWLING and can I just say I love #DigitalTheatre #AccessibleTheatre #PandemicTheatre ?? I love working with #TheatreMakers I wouldn't otherwise ever have a chance to meet.

Thanks to all #theatre / #theatres who have started offering digital events, readings, & productions.

After this morning's #SaturdaySprint #WritingSprint with @emilycolinauthor I'm 1278 words deeper into the #rewrite of my #horror #play DOWN CELLAR! I wrote in 15 min sprints for 2 hours, and it was trés fun.

Thanks, Emily!

Good morning #TheatreMakers & #playwrights !! How are you? How are your projects? Do you have #productions coming up?
