Too Quiet Here Lately

Mainly because of too much wacked-out stuff life has tossed my way in the past month, including a family hospitalization, lots of follow-up doctor visits and tests, and trying to get the big freakin' willow tree in my back yard removed after it CAUGHT ON FIRE where it's tangled up in the electrical lines of two competing power companies.

I've also been busting my hump trying to get a draft of my revised book ready for publication. It's called THE PLAYWRIGHT'S FIELD GUIDE: Insider Insights on Writing It, Fixing It, Getting It Staged. It has a bunch of cool cartoons by my friend, playwright Mike Sepesy (see above).

I wanted to get pre-publication copies to a university that had been using PRACTICAL PLAYWRITING (its former title) in its playwriting class, and that ate my brain for way too long.
