Writing: Passion Bearer

As said Monday, I have a play of mine being performed soon. Auditions were yesterday and the day before, and now we are ready to start rehearsal next week (cue me screaming into the void). I also said I’d put up a scene from the show for my Repertoire Thursday. So, it’s up. It’s underContinue reading “Writing: Passion Bearer”

Writing: Light Blue

For my Repertoire Thursday, this week we’re adding some writing. Due to some huge news I got earlier this week, I haven’t been able to write something new, but I do have some written work on standby. This was a scene I wrote at grad school in Glasgow as practice for myself. It’s called LightContinue reading “Writing: Light Blue”

AFTER THE STORM

{A song is associated with this art piece, so I recommend having it on in the background: YouTube link} “Sometimes the only thing keeping me from ending it all is that I’m literally too scared to.” -Maren “Life ain’t easy but it sure is beautiful.” -Dave “Life is worth it because of faith and hope.”Continue reading “AFTER THE STORM”

Making a Dementor

If you don’t know what a dementor is, I suggest taking your booty to the nearest store and buying the entire Harry Potter series. Anyway, four days ago there was a Harvest Fest in my area. I live in a farming community, so harvest is a huge thing. And the festival is a celebration notContinue reading “Making a Dementor”

Making a Poison Apple Pin

Recently I got to go to Disneyland as part of a birthday celebration. My friend Kiki and I went as a Disneybound Snow White and Evil Queen. The Evil Queen is my favorite villain, I love her (and that’s a psychological point for another time). So, of course, I went as her. I wanted toContinue reading “Making a Poison Apple Pin”

Making Floating Candles

Remember my teacher friend from previous posts? It’s been a hot second since I talked about her, but she’s back! For her classroom this year, she themed it Harry Potter. And because she trusts my creativity(?), she asked for input. So I helped decorate her classroom. One of the things I came up with wereContinue reading “Making Floating Candles”

Worrying About My Playwriting

I write plays. I’ve written a few. Nothing produced, but they exist. I even have a degree in playwriting, so I must be decent, right? …right? To save you some time, I’m just going to tell you that this is a story about me comparing my own damn self to others. I know I shouldn’t,Continue reading “Worrying About My Playwriting”

How Paris Made Me Feel Okay Again

In June 2017, I took a spontaneous trip to Paris, France. I stayed at Disneyland Paris, spending two full days at the parks and one day on an excursion to the city of Paris. But I was in the middle of graduate school, specifically right off the tail of an internship and in the middleContinue reading “How Paris Made Me Feel Okay Again”

Making A Potted Garden

I love being crafty, especially lately when it seems that so many spring and summer things have come up in stores. I decided to put that craftiness to use by making a potted garden, like a land of fairies or gnomes. But if you notice the basic layout of the garden, there’s a lot ofContinue reading “Making A Potted Garden”

The Hunchback of Notre Dame Review

I’m down in Utah, but more on that later. I got to go down to Sandy to the absolutely stunning Hale Centre Theatre to see The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Now for a treacherous drama-person secret: I’m not a fan of musicals. (Cue all theatre peeps gasping in shock. How dare I?!) In my fieldContinue reading “The Hunchback of Notre Dame Review”
