There's less than two weeks left in 31 Plays 31 Days left. I've actually been able to complete a play each day and am really surprised and amazed that I have been. I've always struggled with finding daily time for writing. How could I possibly find time in between the job and trying to decompress from the day job and dinner time and bath time and story time and my own bedtime and then it all starts again. I relied heavily on "Writing Days," those days that I was off from work, when my wife was at work, and my son Jack was at daycare. Then it was off to Starbucks or some other coffee shop and I would write. It worked.
I'm planning on continuing this momentum when this month is over. I have 12 days in which to further solidify this new habit. How are you all doing with this?

I am loving it. I love having plays to read every few days (I know I should space them out and read one each day, but I can't help it, and I read all of them as soon as I see the e-mail has arrived!). I love replying to what you've written, and writing back my own thoughts, and engaging in the multi-form conversation we've been having of e-mails, texts, phone calls, and blogs and comments about everything. I desperately hope I've been holding up my end of the conversation, because I've been so uplifted by getting to be a part of this -- palynology and all (I still haven't read that one yet, my day job keeps getting in the way). And, I'm realizing that if you can find time to write, I really, really, Really, have no excuses anymore. Perhaps September will be 30Days30Poems? Or 30Days30JobApplications? In any case, thanks, Chris.

The nice thing about having a webseries in post is that any 'editing' or 'giving notes on cuts' day automatically becomes writing. Of course, that being said, I had signed up for my theatre company's August public reading slot back when WRNG was coming out in June.
