In the last couple
of days, the conversation on Twitter with @DramatistSteve and @DGFund and on Facebook have been on
writing: what keeps you writing and what started you writing. Now,
the context has revolved around the theatre, but my writing history
and my theatrical history are not linked. I've been writing, in
general, at least six years longer than I have been a playwright
(which is clocking in at fifteen years.)
I feel like most
people who have found their lives in theatre, had a lot of early
theatrical experiences. It seems like a lot of people either had very
active theatre families, or they got involved in the theatre at a
very early age. There are of course other stories from people who
stumbled into it, and I feel I probably fall into the later category.
