Get 2-for-1 tickets with code HLCOMPANY16! Catch my adaptations of The Garden Party and The Girl Who Owned A Bear as a part of History Lit 2016 starting this Saturday, July 9. This is an immersive, moving show in the style of Wicked Lit (but with dramas and a fractured fairy tale... and much less horror and vampires and the like).
I came across this cool lil article by Kim Liao on Lit Hub called WHY YOU SHOULD AIM FOR 100 REJECTIONS A YEAR that describes an innovative way to deal with the avalanche of rejection that comes with persuing one's greatest art. Liao proposes a shift in perspective - that we move away from finding success despite rejection to getting rejected (essentially) as much as possible, knnowing that that must happen before success can be acheived. By doing this, rejection literally becomes the path to success instead of the obstacle. Brilliant. If you're a creative, or if you love a creative, check if out (and thanks to Idris Goodwin for sharing this article in the first place!).
My 5-minute play Grass and Andy is going to be included in an Applause Books Anthology of very short plays. Funnily enough, the play started as an okay 10-minute play, and when I was invited to submit a 5-minute play for this anthology, I was able to shape it into a little dart of a thing that I'm pretty proud of. Fair warning, I was watching a lot of Parenthood when I wrote this play... it'll be out in January.
