Don't write a play about three guys who are getting drunk and stoned on a couch. Don't write a play where the whole thing ends up being a dream. And don't have every other word start with F. Make up some new words.Kelly Eastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13409037341580163662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-35923571087317178282010-11-04T09:04:43.427-05:002010-11-04T09:04:43.427-05:00Wow, Liza.

Sometimes stories work when they have some amazing parts and too much or too little of others. They're not perfect, but like opera they touch us down to our toes.Claire Rudolf Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520445613916601377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-23101603046868118902010-11-03T11:31:17.633-05:002010-11-03T11:31:17.633-05:00I want to have a big Broadway dance routine in min...I want to have a big Broadway dance routine in mine.Melinda R.
