Playwrights: what do you do when you’re an emerging playwright, have 15 pages of a new play you’re super excited about, but you can’t proceed without external support (producers, directors, other collaborators)? How do you create that network? Do you just… email people?

As a seasoned playwright, there are three important stylistic devices.
- Suspense.
- Silence.
- Twists.
When woven together, they birth a masterpiece.
Use them in life.

I am nothing like the person I wanted to be when I was a kid, and I’m determined to rectify that starting this year. I wanted to be either a dictator or a playwright.
I’m not sure which direction I should go in, but as a dictator my plays would automatically be very popular.
Today in therapy I said “I grew up into the person I wanted to be when I was a kid.” and that feels really good.
