2016 is weird.

Aside from all of the nuttiness of this year's Presidential race, 2016 has been a flat-out weird year for me.  I started out in January by writing the first draft of THE RAGING SKILLET (which will open in Spring 2017 at my artistic home, TheaterWorks Hartford) and finishing BETTY JO'S FAN CLUB (an idea that I had been kicking around for years and finally wrote for an actress who ended up not wanting to do it).  I've done two more drafts of the book for the musical SAVE THE ROBOTS and saw an extreme musical makeover to my book for FLY ME TO MIAMI (now called HAVANA U$A).  Other than that, I've been a bit moribund as I have mulled over what to do career-wise.   These were all projects I had to do.  Other than that, I wasn't very motivated to write.  

After seven years at The Mark Twain House & Museum, I am leaving next week and starting a new job at BuzzEngine in West Hartford.  Quitting my job was like uncorking my creativity.  I wrote two short plays in short order, both for my annual submission for the Fusion Theatre "The Seven:" SOILED and THE LOVE GOITER with local genius Stephen Scott Kegler.  I have actually started going to theatre again, too.  Maybe I had to break up with Mark Twain to become more of my own writer.
