From the meadow by the sea... it is quiet here. I am striving to sit in that quiet and enjoy it. Without the distraction of home time opens up. Today I will finish re-reading The Sanford Meisner Approach. Plus... beautiful meadows by the sea have mosquitos.
I love this page!
Writing as Annie Blachley and Annie Wilkinson, I'm an award-winning editor, journalist, and author. I practice sensitive editing guidance, encouraging writers to leap first and look back later.
Submitted two plays for production at Good Luck Macbeth...fingers crossed people. Get your work out there!
Your only job is to write. To put it - whatever is your own particular specific and unique experience and imagination to pen and paper. Let others judge and quibble and say words from the sides of their mouths. You sit and you write and you get the work done.

I have been working with New York playwright Scott Cohen on his play Life List to ready it for next steps in production. After completing a major rewrite he needs to hear it read aloud. Actors will do a table read then provide feedback to the author about the strengths and weaknesses in the script. This is a great opportunity to work with a playwright directly and be part of this important play development process.

Remember the sky that you were born under, know each of the star's stories. Remember the moon, know who she is. - Joy Harjo
And I wrote fiction:
Born under a mint green lead painted industrial hospital sky with mother girl alone. My brother, her son, at the not in-laws and my father her not husband drinking his bone hurt, out of town, away. She says that later, she was happy with those three days just us, before she had to pick up mother and not wife, and three jobs again. But she was seventeen and wore lipstick with her curlers in the Polaroid holding me tight at the hospital.

I just launched my brand new online store! Welcome everyone.
Just completed the first round of edits for a playwright. I am thrilled to be doing developmental editing with him and I know when the work is complete he will appreciate that old idea that 80% of effort occurs in the last 20% of a project. Writing is re-writing and caring enough to care about details ensures a script is as beautiful on the page as on the stage.
What a great group of people at the Salon last night! Thanks Cindie Geddes, Pauline Russert, Joseph Galata and Mr. Grimes!
Love to see you Wednesday night from 6-8pm for our Biggest Little Writing Salon (whose name will probably be changed!) Call me for directions!

Happy to be assisting Sierra Kids Foundation with their great work. I was privileged to write this article about the Pensotti family!

Writing is important: the hand-brain connection gives us an instant or two to leap toward creation OR to stutter stop ourselves with interior criticism. I am always on the lookout for great ideas to energize and focus my creative mind. I will take ideas from anywhere, if they apply and if they work. So here, for you this morning....tips on writing from teachers, elementary school teachers...the people who taught us all to write. http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/top-teaching/2015/06/best-blogs-writing-strategies
