so there's this writing thing that one must do when they become a neo-futurist. one must write plays. short ones. to perform. for an audience. it's funny because i feel that i've always been writing plays in my head, but now these thoughts must be transferred to paper (or google documents, as it were), things suddenly get a little trickier. i tend to start-stop a lot, beginning an idea and then squashing it instead of allowing it to meander its way into interestingness. i would like these ideas to free-flow a bit more, a bit faster and with a bit more gusto. maybe the process is just different.
as an actor with a script, you have a map in right in front of you. as an improviser, you embrace the unknown knowingly. as a dancer, you've finely tuned your body to do as it should. alas, i've never truly thought of myself as a writer, but now, i think i must*.
*also, i just wrote "alas," so that's gotta count for something**.
**but then i wrote "gotta." i'm pretty sure i lost some cred with that one***.
***i know i'm not supposed to start a sentence with the word "but."
