I've been reading Madeleine L'Engle Herself: Reflections on a Writing Life, and it's chock-full of nuggets that inspire me to take up my pen and write, write, write. (The other part I love is that she's unabashed about her Christianity and its influence on her writing.)
Here's one bit I ...
As I mentioned on Top of the Mountains a few minutes ago, I'm going to try to simplify my life. I've got too much going on, and it's crazy. I've been addicted to busyness.
And it's hurting me as a writer and as an artist.

In thinking over where I am as a writer and where I want to go, I feel like the trees are fine, but the forest needs tending.
You see, I'm fairly satisfied with my ability to spin out words and link them into sentences. I can hold my own on ...
Just a quick note to say Safe and Sound got accepted and will be performed April 11–12 (probably at 7:30 and at the Provo Theatre Company as usual). Auditions will be next week, March 11–12, and there'll be information on that on the website soon. (Alchemy didn't ...

In the meantime, today's quick thought is this: when I took AP Music Theory my senior year ...

Yet another Snowstorm post. :) (But it's the last one.) We had the encore performance of "Eccentricities" tonight, and it went quite well, even though the place wasn't completely sold out. At the end they tallied all the audience votes for ...
Yet another Snowstorm post. :) (But it's the last one.) We had the encore performance of "Eccentricities" tonight, and it went quite well, even though the place wasn't completely sold out. At the end they tallied all the audience votes for the four performances, and to my ...
I should stop waiting till the end of the day to blog. :) This'll be short -- all I've got to say is that because last night and tonight the show ("Eccentricities," which includes my play Snowstorm) was completely sold out, they've extended the run to include an encore ...
