The semester is over and I have started to shift gears into
personal projects and writing. It is a welcome change to the hustle and bustle
of the semester. Like scratching an inch that you haven’t been able to reach
because you have been stuck in a position that you have to hold. Don’t get me
wrong, I do some writing while classes are in session. I just don’t get to work
on the projects that I want to work on. Unfortunately, I just don’t have the
energy for in depth personal writing projects after a full class load if it doesn't
have a grade attached to it. If I get an idea that I want to work on outside of
class I am quick to get the stub of the idea into a word document usually
attaching a web link or whatever it was that I was listening to that inspired
the concept. All of those little stubs would sit on my desk waiting to be told.
It is a good little system that I came up with to keep from forgetting
something.
Now that the semester is over I have dived head first into
all those little stubs that I have been waiting patiently for me. What I am
finding is that the system works. I am able to unravel and find the excitement
for an idea that I had days, weeks, or months ago. If I can’t find that
excitement or the idea doesn't make sense I put it the idea folder and come
back to it later.
I am also editing a play that I wrote when I first got here
called Drone. This is in conjunction
with the Robot Theatre Class I will be taking this fall. We may not be using the play due to its
length, but working on it puts me in the right mind set. I also hope to learn
what robots and drones can do and how they can be used in conjunction with
theatre.
I am also submitting more. I have one story, Things My Mother Never Told Me¸ out for
review at Psuedopod.com. If you haven’t heard of it, go check it out. You can
find it on itunes or though the Psuedopod site. Wish me luck.
I am also looking for German language film and television
shows to keep my German sharp. Anyone
have any suggestions?
