We’re into the second week of November and I realized that I didn’t put out my plans for this month. I will be focusing on my weight loss this month. I gained some traction in October, and I want to continue the momentum. The goal is to get my weight down to 190lbs by the…
I’m working on the first draft of a project. I’ve had a couple of false starts in the last couple of years. With other projects. This one might get to the first stage. A rough draft. Or the “vomit draft”. Basically, it’s writing all the clunky stuff in your head and not worrying about how…
When I check out someone’s blog, I’ll often go to their About Me page. I’m always curious to know a bit more about the author. Looking the stats for my site, I saw that my About me page gets viewed more than most other pages. It makes sense. You read a post and wonder “Who…
Writing can be hard. Especially when you are starting on a project. Getting those first words written can be excruciating. For me, it isn’t for lack of ideas. There’s tons of things to write about. Before I start writing a blog post, I glance at my list of possible post topics. I’ve got about 190…
I finished reading The Comfort Crisis a couple of weeks ago, but I’m going back to read it again. I listened to most of the book with Kindle Assistive Reader. Which is great for listening to the book in the car. But it’s not so great when you want to go back and savour something.…
It seems to happen every month. I have a plan. Enthusiasm is strong at the beginning of the month. And then imperceptibly, a drift happens. A drift away from the plan. It’s subtle. But it seems inevitable. There’s a week left and I haven’t made a dent in September’s plan. My lines for The Game’s…
I’ve been using a web app called Momentum Dash for years. It’s a dashboard to help keep you focused on your goals. I like the simplicity of it. The page has an interesting photo of a landscape. That changes daily. And you input your goal for the day. It displays the goal for the day. …
Deb and I are making a second attempt to get into the Montreal Fringe. We are hoping to bring our show The Lost Years to Montreal. We didn’t get into the 2024 Fringe. So, we’re hoping to get into next year’s Fringe. Yesterday, the applications for the Montreal Fringe 2025 opened. The first…
Another benefit of going to the Fringe is getting inspired to work on some of your own projects. Fringe-spiration comes from the shows you see that you liked. From the shows that you saw that could have been better. And from all the conversations you have with people during the Fringe. The…
In another post, I wondered if I got into National Theatre School to meet Richard Pochinko. Let me amend that. Richard Pochinko’s ideas were the main thing I was supposed to LEARN at NTS. They’ve percolated in my brain for years. And I regret not looking him up in Toronto and training more with him…
