Things are likely to go a bit quiet here over the next little while. I have a number of projects I'm attempting to get on top of. Considering they're all lengthy projects it's not giving me much time for short works or weekly exercise writing. The other down side to this is general feeling of isolation these large projects have given me. Working through the theatre was such a fantastic experience simply because I was working with other people rather than slaving alone in front of a computer. Isolated. It sucks. It would be worse if there wasn't all a reason for it. What I've got on my plate is going to take a significant amount of my time for at least a couple of months but everything I'm doing has a direction. That's the good part. Work now (hopefully) means reward later.All I can do is wait. I've been writing a lot to music I've downloaded from the Lost Children Net Label. There's a lot of fantastic music there. Particularly incredibly is sleepmakeswaves's 'In Today Already Walks Tomorrow'. david shute - Feb 16, 2009 at 9:08 PM

Working with KWLT and having A Brand New Hell performed was an incredible experience. The show, as a whole, went very well. Although I have a bit of bias I'm forced to say that my cast stole the show every night. Out of five plays they consistently got the best laughs and the best applause. That's not take away from any of the other shows. I enjoyed them all immensely. Something just clicked for my show. On the final show we were sold out. The audience response was nothing short of phenomenal. In some cases the laughter was so loud that dialogue got lost in the shuffle. You couldn't hear the actors over the audience. The applause they got for that final performance was insane. Sitting in the middle of the audience for that was an extremely gratifying experience. My lead actor, a Mr. Michael Mercy, was kind enough to film the opening night show. I should be hearing back within a couple days or weeks with an edit from the two camera shoot. I'm very interested in having a copy of the performance. Likely we'll be posting a copy of youtube to share out. Sometime over the course of the next month we're looking to get in there and do a proper short film version. This is looking like it's only going to be a single day shoot. I want to give my actors some time to rest up and relax. I also need to do a little set dressing wrangling to find some ugly carpet and a couch or love seat. As far as I writing goes I feel very invigorated. I just want to keep working and keep writing. I've got several projects on the go, two of which are stage productions. I left that theatre Saturday night knowing I could do that every night for the rest of my life and love every single minute of it. One of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences I've ever had. david shute - Feb 4, 2009 at 11:59 AM
