Pumping

I'm working damn hard to finish "The Brothers Caramillo." I had a revelation yesterday while at work, which helped me to get the play moving from the very beginning and make things interesting. I worked on making those "small-large" changes to the play this morning and feel a driving force to get the rest of the play out. I need to reread what I've written to get back on track with the new momentum of the play and to see what may or may not be working.

I also have agreed to write a 10-15 minute play for Bison Theatre for some festival. It has to be about the effects of an asteroid crash in a small town. (Watching Smallville on DVD might prove useful) Part of me wants to set it in Cedar Falls, IA, and make it an homage to Laura Farmer's simple, mundane, poetic characters.

Speaking of Laura Farmer, I owe her a new play on May 15th... I'm starting to research it... But I really have to focus on finishing "Brothers Caramillo" before I set sail on a new play...
