Journals of a Non-Poet

Okay, so aside from not having much time to write on my lovely bloggie wog; my post at Brewhaha is keeping me busy & content.

At the moment, I’m unwinding with a pot of lapsang souchong, watching Ghostbusters & relaxing. I’ve never been a great one for ‘unwinding’, or ‘chilling out’. I think I’m beginning to get the hang of it.

At the moment, I’m juggling a number of projects. I’m on a very short deadline to get a piece of theatre together for submission before Christmas for the Tron Theatre in Glasgow. I’m also mulling over ideas for the Glasgay festival 2010, and have been accepted onto a writers programme with WAC Theatre, Aberdeen. To be frank, I’ve not had much time to settle down and concentrate, what with my classes in Practical Aesthetics, work and sleep.

I guess I’m still not properly into a routine. I think it’s important for creative types to find a routine – because the more creative you are, the less organised you are. Well, that’s my experience at least. Regardless, I do think it’s important to work to a schedule, be organised and to always carry a little notebook. My moleskin has been scribbled in numerous times over the past weeks. It’s beginning to prove a vital appendage.

I’ve not long got hold of Google Wave, and I’m very, very excited. There are so many prospects, for writers, directors, practitioners and numerous other professions.

Personally, I’m very eager to start collaborating with people. Lots of different people. In fact, I’m hoping to organise a mass writing event via twitter & Google Wave in the New Year. I believe that doing so, could result in the birth of a new method of collaboration. Think of it as an online ‘writers room’, if you will.  A place for people who live in different towns, cities and even countries; a place for them to collaborate with each other.

Obviously, I’m a little busy at the moment, so I’d imagine none of this will take off until 2010, but I’m very excited nonetheless.

Being a twitter junkie, I think there’s a lot of opportunity for many different persons, of many different levels of experience to contribute to a single entity/script.

Blah. I’m beginning to waffle.

Righto! Off for a bath before bed.
TTFN,
