The next play is well on the way to having a final structure, and the first workshop session went pretty well. This time, unlike Urban Hymns, I am writing only, and it is being directed by someone else. This has given me a new set of challenges, as I cannot be as specific in my instructions when we are setting them, so I perhaps have to bring something a little more complete and fully formed. This is fine though, and I am now looking forward to getting some time to write some more. I have also been doing a little bit more thinking about some of the other projects and plays. It's all SO busy and full on, but I am really enjoying the challenge. Been feeling a bit down lately for a number of reasons, mainly exhaustion. After recovering from the Dental issues, a lovely bug decided to take up residence, which removed my voice for about three days. I was running the sessions, and then doing sound for a show, which was an interesting challenge in terms of communication. It made me realise how much I rely on projection during sessions, and made me think that there might be some different approaches.
I have continued to find one of my projects to be a source of frustration, but can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. It seems to be featuring a lot higher on some of my friends priority list than mine, which is perhaps a good thing. I felt like I was having a bit of a decline last week, and realised that if I am going to do this, it needs to be over a much better reason than the bitterness and jealousy of others.
I await a visit from Mr and Mrs Pops today, which is always a pleasure. It is the first time they have visited the new house.
I had a bit of a shock earlier in the week, when I received an email from someone who had been upset and offended by a post on this blog. They were right to be so, and I have removed the post, and I hope explained why I wrote what I did. Sadly I seem to have a knack of upsetting people that don't deserve to be, and I am truly upset by it all. I am delighted that they have been as gracious as to accept my apology. I shall endeavour to be more careful in future.
