Open Wardrobes

All right, all right, I know it's almost the end of April, and I know that I haven't blogged since the start of the year. My excuse? A now one-year-old named Jasper who's adorable and hilarious, and who wouldn't choose this over blogging? But… more »

Last week I wrapped up the rough draft for my new mystery play (still untitled), which brings me up to five completed rough drafts for 2010! This was my goal at the beginning of the year, with at least three of those drafts being brand new (the other t… more »
