Time

   At 11:30 on the Saturday night of week two, while homework and projects have started to accumulate, I decide that now is the optimum time to pay some respect to my blog for the first time in... too long. Typical.
   Well, here's a little list of reasons why nothing has been posted here since the new year. First off, I got myself involved with two different theatrical productions. I played the role of Man in Walter Wykes' play "The Worker," a psychotic 25-minute play about a man (Me) who is overworked by an abusive company and comes home to learn his wife (Hannah Rice) has officially lost her handle on reality. And then a messenger (Nick Ryan) comes along and everything goes the way of the Titanic.
   The other play I was in was an adaptation of the classic Jane Austen novel "Mansfield Park," in which I played Edmund Bertram.
   I've also been working on some writing; a couple of projects can be seen on my deviantArt site, but most of what I've been working on isn't available there. I've written a couple of plays; one is a very short ten-minute play, the other is closer to a half an hour. My hope is to get the longer one produced over the next year, and possibly turn the short ten-minute play into a short film, but we'll see what happens.
   The more significant achievement of late is that I have finally finished one complete draft of my first novel, "Black And White." After two years of work, I have compiled a draft which, if read at 275 words per minute (which is apparently more than believable) could be read in a little over two hours. My current word count is 33,026, but that is definitely going to change (and quite likely become substantially larger) as I go back over the whole thing, editing and revising for tone, consistency, and eradicating any plot-holes that may have crept up (although those should be minimal).
   In the impending future, I will be doing a dramatic reading of a student-written play called Afterlife at the Oregon Contemporary Theatre late this May. Until I have more to tell you, adieu!
