My 2011 NaNoWriMo project may be… my 2010 project. (a word count update post)

It's been almost a month since my last works in progress update! I can't believe September is almost over, you guys. This is insanity.

I thought to schedule posts for while I was away in FL for eBay On Location but then while I was back home but really busy catching up? Nothing. Sorry about that!

I'm almost embarrassed to give you this word count update. This month has flew by and I haven't had a lot of time to write. Let's do the potato right up front to get it over with.

I've only added about ...

Teens in the wild…

YA authors & writers, I feel that it's only fair to show you what you're up against… Real teenagers in their natural habitat (Facebook).

I am related to one of these blurs. It's probably best if I don't tell you which one.

On videos of The Love of Three Oranges on YouTube and elsewhere…

When I was searching around the web for something I knew I'd seen somewhere, I came across a clip of my The Love of Three Oranges from a recent production on YouTube. Then I found another. And another.

I watched as many as I could and here's what I have to say:

First off, you guys are awesome. I am hugely appreciative of the fandom around Three Oranges and the enthusiasm that you threw into your productions.

Secondly, I got the biggest thrill out of reading ...

Fighting Draft Dread: How do you make yourself start editing that book you wrote?

You finished a book. Getting all the way to The End, no matter how long it took or how good you think what you wrote is, is a major accomplishment. You need to take a moment, pat yourself on the back and bask in a job well done.

Except that, at some point, you've realized that was only the first battle of the long war to end up with a finished book. You're going to need to dive back into what you wrote to edit and polish it into something you can be proud to show around to...

Teachers, educators & directors: Tips for making the most out of a living playwright (or author) for your class or students

I wrote a guest article for Playscripts, Inc last week entitled Making the Most out of a Living Playwright. It gives tips for teaching or staging material where the person who wrote the material is still alive. Connecting with the person behind the words is a great way to liven up any lesson and give immediacy to the text.

Because the post was for Playscripts, the text is very focused specifically on theatre, plays and playwrights. (Know your audience, right?) But you'll...
