Writing
About writing of all forms, the practice of it, the theory of it, the love and hate of it.

La Ronde for Improv and Writing
Those who have heard of Arthur Schnitzler’s play La Ronde (or Reigen in the German) might think that this is going to be about sex. It’s not. Not really. While it’s true that La Ronde deals largely with themes of love and sex, it’s the form the play takes that interests me.

etting past the fear
Every writer, every researcher, anyone who is involved in a creative endeavour knows The Fear, or to give the beast its full title, The Fear of Being Wrong. When a writer states at an empty page, when an improviser freezes on an empty stage, it is The Fear that is at work, telling us that “if you don’t play you can’t lose.”
