It's been a long time since I had a day as productive as today. Got significant work done on the splay, the novel, the new video, plus tended to various chores and errands. And I'm still at work.
A dinner tonight, celebrating Julie's MFA, and tomorrow morning is Live at the Met!, Madam Butterfly.
This is a great way to start out my long weekend.

The Deemer Interview
Charles Deemer teaches screenwriting at Portland State University. He is a playwright, novelist, screenwriter, and pioneer in hyperdrama. He was the editor of Oregon Literary Review and the artistic director of Small Screen Video.
"Having written almost daily for over 40 years, I can say that writing is not a job or a vocation or a profession--it is an existence. It is a way of being in the world."
