So Brandon issued a challenge to Erin and I:  complete a first draft of a full-length play by the end of 2006.  Woah.  He basically called us out on the fact that we just write these little 15 minute scenes every 2 years for Slapdash and we need to be doing it all the time.  So he, Erin and I have committed to having plays finished by 1/7/07, when we will gather those we trust and have a reading.  I’m excited because it’s something that’s been needing to happen, but also scared to death.  What will I write about?  How will I sustain something past about 20 pages?  That’s the longest thing I’ve written since, gulp, college.  Damn!  But it has to be done.  It will take discipline and more time spent writing scenes than writing and reading blogs and all the other crap I fill my time with.  Wish me luck.Â
