So I decided to change my writing report day to Saturday.  Saturday is a less productive day for writing and a hard one to get started on since I work weekends.  This means I use my writing time during the more productive times during the week for actuall writing, not just my report.

So this week has been very good ( well week and a half).  First I have made some edits to Tennessee so that it flows a little better.  Much more controlled writing on my part, Tennessee kind of represents a more mature writing style I think.  I have tweaked the first act and now I have to work on the second act.  I'm hoping for a late summer reading and I'm already thinking about entering it into Fringe if I can find some interest.  I might chat up the play when I see a few plays at the festival this year.  Maybe I don't have to be the sole investment on this.

Nothing much to report on Fathers And Sons since I formatted it last week, but I have been getting into my short stories.  I finished the one that I was having trouble with.  I have to twek it a bit too since I'm not happy with its too much like life feeling as it needs separating from who I am a bit.  I started writing one of the other stories to amusement.  It is called A List Bear, completely something I was thinking about for a while in the collection (not due to your rant, Bill :))  The collection follows a bear through his life and this story is quite fun to write.  Within three paragraphs, I fell in love with the main character.  That doesn't happen everyday, so I will continue with it.

I'm also working on my characters for the Fringe Festival's 24 Hour Playwriting competition too, but that's going fine with a look back at a series of two person plays I was thinking about.  It's nice seeing ideas coming together from another purpose.

Books I've Read:

1) Who Do You Think You Are? - Alice Munro

I read The Lives Of Girls And Women in university and loved it.  This book was equally enjoyable (and a little long reading for me) and it's nice to read about a character that is not so easily loved or even liked and yet still wanting to follow her.
