• When a Writer doesn’t Recognize his Script

  I was at a theatre festival last night where one of my plays was being performed. I was not in any way connected to the production, so I’m always a little apprehensive when I go and see one of my pieces, not knowing what it might ultimately look like. I’ve had a variety of experiences…

• Is it Fair to Judge a Writer?

  (In my last post I picked on an old professor. That made me think of another old professor whom I’ll add to the list of blog-post inspiration. By the way, I enjoyed learning under both of them.) One of my old professors taught me that when reading a poem, never assume that the poem’s perspective…
