HAPPY NEW YEAR! ...5 days late...

[stateofwhat]

I haven't decided on resolutions or anything, so I'll have to think on it and make a separate post. I also need to sort through that 101 things in 1101 days thing, and see how I did

I'm so sorry they're fucking with your pay. Anything to save a buck. Disgusting. I hope you reach your 40.

Yeah, they're a bunch of dicks. The more I learn about the company I work for, the more I want to quit.

Happy belated new year! And good luck with the play.

Thank you! :D

Um, that fucking SUCKS. :(

You could write a play :D I think the best way to learn how to write is to read other writers. Have you read any plays that you really enjoy? Tennessee Williams is pretty great...although I've been meaning to read some Neil LaBute plays (particularly Fat Pig).

You should listen to Marie, she is (or was rather) a professional writer after all.

And so was I.

First off, just write your shit down. Don't worry about making it perfect, just get it written. Then go back and read it over, and fix things as you go. You'll probably go through this process several times before you are "done", and even then, no writing is ever truly finished.

I strongly agree with what Marie says, you best learn to write by reading.

Do you have any recommendations? The only plays I can think of that I've read are Shakes and Death of a Salesman.

Don't make me read Shakespeare, again. :(

I cant think of any plays not by Arthur Miller or Shakespeare. :P

Gimme a reading list, and I will get started! :D

Lol. You weren't snippy at all. Wikipedia has the formats and has been crazy helpful. It almost makes me want to donate. :o

*boobsquish* Now go de-stress!
