My Cardboard Balcony

Yep, I admit it: No short story tonight. And that's because I am outlining and beginning to write my tenth play! It's another sci-fi play, though it's not inspired by or adapted from any of my previous work (unlike my play,  It Is Fragile,  or my feature film,  The Potter and the Summoner).  I don't have a title yet, though I would love to start it with a J, as all of my plays have been written in alphabetical order by title. The first scene is finished, and I'm hoping to add more soon. I'm trying not to oversaturate my life with too many projects, whether they're my own or a collaboration with others. But hey, this is my passion, and I'm happy to indulge and work on my own pace for a lot of my work. So I'll let y'all know how it goes! And if you want to hear what my play's about, let me know: maybe you can even help me come up with a title starting with the letter J. Night, all!

We looked at everything when it came to the championship brackets. We checked the rosters. We checked the stats. We checked both individual performance and team effort. And in the end, we had an idea of who would most likely head to the finals. "I'm just saying," I told my buddies over a tankard of ale at Mox's Tavern, "when you have experience as a dragon slayer, you're gonna do well in the beast bouts. Especially when you're a damn good swordsman."
