transition part 2

I've seen a lot of bloggers come and go. Remember that surge a while back when everybody you knew suddenly had a blog? (Everyone I knew anyway.) And there were some vastly entertaining posts, great stories, cool new points of view, and then one by one they all stopped writing. At the same time of course, new people are constantly popping up. And some people do stick around. I got so many blogs right now on my google reader I can't keep up.


I feel myself fizzling out right now like so many bloggers before me. Mostly I just link to other people's stuff now. My readership is down. There are other things to do. Things like facebook and youtube. Also, I feel like my writing here has become less vital. I am disenchanted with theater. I haven't been involved in a show in over a year (though some of my plays are happening in various places). But I feel like I have nothing more to say really about theater except that I'm not enough a part of it and I'm frustrated my plays aren't getting done more by larger theaters. but that gets tiring to read and tiring for me to write. So I've been only half here on the blog this past year or so.


And I've stopped sharing my writing so much. Which is something that kept me coming to the blog. But this is partially because I've been working on TV and film stuff and wasn't sure it was a good idea to share that stuff. I mean, who wants to read my 30 Rock spec really? And the screenplay should be shrouded in secrecy as should the pilot stuff I'm working on now. Because it's still evolving and I don't want to say it's this and have it be that.


Which is all just to say that if this blog is to continue, it will have to change. Maybe from now on, it will be a blog that is solely photos of donkeys.

I don't know. Maybe I'll start reporting on the Minneapolis theater scene. Maybe I'll spend next year writing that novel and that's all you'll hear about. Maybe I'll only write about TV and/or film. (If that is even allowed) It's really hard to say. stay tuned. or, you know, watch youtube instead. I'll have a youtube video or two coming out soon.

K is at this moment driving across the country to our home base for a year--Minneapolis. Our cat is riding shotgun in her '91 honda station wagon. The apartment is very quiet without them. Work is also very quiet right now. The new guy we hired is doing all the work I would normally do. I'm working on my pilot pitch. I have to say, I'm getting kind of excited about it. I hope someone will pay me to write it. I've also figured out how to revise a lot of things that need revising. I wonder when I'll get to that. Soon, I hope. So much to do. Here's a song for you: The world's about to end You're my only friend There's not much more we can carry And the light go down on this bombed-out town I don't know how much more we can carry So I look at you We've done all we can do and I say to you Let's get married Let's get married Let's get married The morning sun creeps in over our loss or win There's not much more we can carry But I grab your hand and we cross the sand I don't know how much more we can carry And I look at you There's much more we can do Let's get married Let's get married Let's get married
