Open Wardrobes

After working on the commedia and the Adaptation over the past couple of months, I've come up with a new goal for myself for this year:

To write five rough drafts.

It's an ambitious goal, but I'm well on my way with two rough drafts down already in about a month and a half, which made me realize the virtue of setting a goal towards which you have already made significant progress. Part of this goal is that at least two of these rough drafts be brand new (such as the commedia) while the rest can either be new or be finishing up a draft that I've started but haven't yet finished (such as the Adaptation). Right now as I work on some revisions to the commedia I'm also sketching out some ideas for a new play, a comedy. I have a few other ideas that I've been meaning to work on, plus a couple of other pieces that have been gathering dust, and this seemed like a good way to motivate myself to get at least a full draft down on paper. The idea isn't that all of these plays will be finished and polished by the end of the year, but at least I should end the year with a lot of raw material down and ready for the next stage.
