The (edward) Hopper Project with WNEP
Well, Hopper starts rehearsing this week. I've had a couple of my scenes included. From here on out, I expect to participate solely from an advisory position. I am coming to the first few rehearsals to hear it all out loud. After that, I suspect I will disappear until much later... just get out of the way of the actors and director. Probably sometime closer to opening, I duck my head back in and see where things are. Don has asked me to be there to help with a rewrite of one of my scenes (maybe less a rewrite and more to play around with action with the actors there on their feet).
Storming Heaven with Greyzelda
All the contributing writers have read the material, and Greyzelda has assigned the books. I am going to be adapting the first of four parts. I am looking forward to this project. The story is incredible. And whereas, I don't get to tell it's most dramatic events (rising action you know means that the book's conflicts come closer to resolution) There is such a wealth of detail and poetry and beauty to the first book that I think if my co-writers arent jealous... they should be! There is a blog were we will all be writing about the process.
Personal Apocalypse with Tympanic Theatre's Bastards of Young Festival
This show closed this past weekend. They have had some great houses. I've had the good fortune to get a bit of positive mention for my piece. Any accolades have to be shared equally with the cast and director. They have done a great job.

More on Personal Apocalypse

To be fair, Sean and the cast added the pen clicks. I will however take credit for any Pinteresque menace to be had!
Various Odds/Ends of Questionable Consequence
Friends with shows up Right Brain Project's Modern Prometheus, New Leaf's Thursday, and Tympanic's Bastards of Young (Bastards BTW has short play by yours truly.)
Art currently in the oven, WNEP's (edward) Hopper Project, as well as Nighthawk Sandwich, The Chicago Cryptozoological Tour, Big Writing Project with Greyzelda
Also, my company the Mammals are getting ready for both Breed With Me and The Meatlocker, two parts of the Noir Triptych.
I keep thinking that this month is the month I am going to finally turn off the cable TV. I think November 1st I will. Just netflix, hulu, and whatever I can get for free out of the wall. Even now as I type that I am again full of doubt. My truest addiction is internet and cable TV.
This is the first year since 2006 that I will not be attempting the NaNoWriMo. I am just too busy with other projects to attempt to write a novel in the month of November. It is a good problem to have, but I am actually a little saddened by it. I really have enjoyed participating in the previous 3 years.
