you'll be back!
just when you thought you were out... the nytimes will publish something condescending about non-nyc-based playwrights!
Well, things are worse than that: I'm not reading any of the theatre blogs, either.
Don't worry. Just do what you are compelled to. Don't feel bad, if you aren't compelled...just work on what energizes you.

I read somewhere (I think it was on the back wall in the background of a graphic designer in the documentary "Helvetica"):
Guilt and self laceration are indulgences.
Indulge in the time you need to do the things you love, that feed you, that make your roots a twitter with electricity.

The idea that thousands of people will soon have that book in their hands means that thousands more people, even if they don't practice what Godin preaches, will at least understand what those of us who do are up to.

Then I dream a little by looking at that UT Austin program...
Take your time...
