writer's blockidge

Today I was in a state of literary turmoil, so I called an old friend who also happens to be a former English professor of mine. She gave me this advice:

"There is no such thing as writer's block. If you trust what you know, and write like no one will ever read what you've written- you'll find your story right in front of you."

It's good advice and proved to be true for the most part.

So Huckleberry Haywood has been consuming most of my brain, lately. To be perfectly honest, I haven't actually gotten a lot done on the show in the past few weeks....but I have been thinking about it- nonstop, every moment...I don't think there's a "what-if?" I haven't dreamed up in my head. Frankly, It is driving me into batshit craziness.

But when I spoke with my friend tonight, she assured me I have the words and the ideas to make this script a show....so I'm just gonna go with that instead of throwing myself out my third story window... Would probably only break a couple of bones anyways- boring.

So I'm gonna trust my instincts and write....edit later. See where it takes Huckleberry on his journey. All of the songs are written...well I think they are.. mostly due to the incredible Taylor Bridges. He's a great team mate :) I'm very blessed to have him in my life.

His music is formulated from inspration of the greatest, most legendary musicians. His eye and ear for those formulas and his knack for mixing the formulas to make them his own, will take him far. I'm delighted to be on board.

So the update is this- We're working on it!

You'll be the first to know when we are finished!

I'm also directing a show for Dalliance Theater next month. It's a very cool 10 minute play series all tied to the theme "Who is John Bishop"... very cool concept. I'm excited to make my nyc directing debut. I meet with my playwright tomorrow afternoon for conference. If you'd like to check out Dalliance Theater click here fo information!

I'm preparing for my first audition in quite sometime...it's Wednesday for a new musical written by my friend Kevin Ray. It's called "The Last Word" and It's all jazz/blues/juicy goodness... I'm excited.

It's a cold Friday night in Astoria, Queens and I'm pleased as punch about staying right here in my warm snuggie filled apartment :)

Have a nice weekend...I'll probably be sitting here in the same place when you visit again next time!

Cheers!
