Just returned from the Sewanee Writers Conference where I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Lee Blessing and Dan O’Brien, among many new playwright friends. It took a while to adjust to the schedule of eating breakfast, going to a lecture, eating lunch, going to workshop, going to a reading, going to have a drink, going to eat dinner, going to another reading, and ending the night with yet another drink. This boy is used to getting in bed at 11pm with “The Nanny,” but once I got the hang out it, I was able to be (somewhat) productive. I look forward to applying again next year (come on, fellowship! come on, scholarship! no whammies aaaaaand STOP!), but I’m sure it won’t compare to the fun I had this year. Just cause it’ll be different. As it should be.
