Get in line in that processional, Step into that small confessional. There the guy who's got religion'll Tell you if your sin's original. :)

OK. I've done two of these table read things, now, and it has been interesting, getting the scripts in shape, casting actors to read, zooming the thing, and then listening to "notes" from the other writers. I thought the whole thing would be motivating, just to have deadlines and readers, and...

No! Just popped up on my ipad. Ozzy! Fuck you, time!

wanted to delete the post because suddenly embarassed at my poetry, but it wouldn't let me so I replaced it with the "x". (And, parenthetically, from here on in "x" means this: "I was suddenly embarrassed at my poetry, prose, sententiousness, sophomoricism, etc. and so replaced it with this...

Fantastic idea. Been kind of knocked out, lately, with this: Bist du bei mir, geh ich mit Freuden zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh. Ach, wie vergnügt wär so mein Ende, es drückten deine schönen Hände I gave the not-yet tomatos a chorus this morning. I think they liked it!

Spring, to summer, to fall, to winter, and now back again--another year down, another year older, another year closer to visiting the undiscovered country from whose bourne . . . But anyway. Tomato Redux: These guys growing taller. Still, no hint yet of anything to eat--this year of the...

Done deal. I have three card-carrying professional actors to do a table read on the zoom, in spite of my constant "I'm so so sorry to bug you but..." demeanor, which, maybe I'm starting to realize, is itself off-putting. But anyway :)

I'm still trying to cast a narrator, to read my Opus subscript a, for a table read, on the Zoom--30 pages, Sunday 6th @ 7 Pacific. I have two real actors and two writers to fill in all 24 parts! And with the exception of Leopold, they are all women, an idea that i like a lot. This whole thing...

Here's what I learned this morning! Learning is fun-damental!

Would be wonderful, and thanks for the offer and the response. I'm imagining you as Johann Sebastian Bach, and maybe Mr. Rambler as... Maria Barbara? (Maybe with a Monty Pythonesque falsetto--"but i don't like schnitzel!" ) --no, as Prince Leopold. Actually, for the thing this Sunday, I still...

Yea, I thought it was a cool idea, and the group seems pretty cool, so after sitting in on several sessions, I was asked if I had anything ready to be read. I said yes, and am now on the schedule. There's a pool of actors who occasionally, for some reason, get involved, and the other group...

-- just my uneducated .02. Go with your own instincts--whatever seems cool and kind of complete to you. As I said, it's a pretty tight couple of pages as it is, which, to me, is an accomplishment. :)
