Mostly, the reason for this blog is to talk about my creative life, and eventually open it up to conversations with other creatives, to discuss successes, hopes, angst, motivation - anything that can help and support us.
And here I am, wondering what to say that you, my reader, might find interesting. This week has been exciting: I start a new job soon, and that has given me a deadline to finish the first draft of Echoes of Great Spaces.
Tonight, I finished Chapter 17, so I have only one more chapter to go, and a week to finish it. Then it will be back to the drawing board to polish my masterpiece! Rewrites are such fun.
The Cabrillo Playhouse, the community theater where I paint the sets, has a new show opening this week: Lend Me a Tenor, a comedy. Yesterday I finished the shadow-lining of all the doors (5 of them, both sides, to make them look like panel doors). Much more fun than last weekend, when I did two coats on the ceiling and one on the stage floor. The trick is to organize your time so you don't end up watching paint dry. If you go there, look for my two small murals in the lobby hallway - the first I've ever done.
On Wednesdays, I go to a class on writing for publication. We have some fabulous beginning novelists there, and even the ones who are still struggling with the craft have something important to say. Our memoir writers are truly remarkable. Every time, I leave feeling upbeat and energized. Plus, I like heckling our teacher!
