Finally!
I have a draft of the new show! And only five and a half months after I decided to do it.
[At this point, dear Reader, please imagine me shaking my head ruefully.]
Five and a half months! I wrote my last show in one DAY. Okay, I exaggerate slightly. I wrote the first draft in a day, got comments from the pseudo-spouse (my best editor) that night, and finished the second draft the next afternoon. Of course, I had a fairly good incentive: I was scheduled to perform the show for potential producers in a little under a month.
So I guess that’s what I was missing for these last five months - a deadline. I sure have some good ones now: A meeting in just four days with the genius I expect to be my next musical director. And a performance in August, which I’ve billed as a preview of the show.
Anyway, it’s taken awhile to get to this point, but I think it’s pretty good work. Of course, I haven’t shown it to the pseudo-spouse yet…
