Really healing these days to do at least more than nothin'

I'm working on 1 revision of a play, a new one for adults and a short one for jr/sr high school students. I find that helps me ignore the 1 beep per section announcements of new emails that are desperately asking for money and/or actions

I let my unconscious goof off, sleep late, watch news or Hallmark movie, no blame for wasting the day, then I go into the writing trance, often from 3 pm to 2 am... sometimes even when msnbc on in the background so if I get ancy and want to go out to walk, I tune into a news comment, that holds me, and soon I tune back out the news and get back into the writing flow. Don't think I can schedule that!

That, coming from you, will keep me going! All three plays are very related to the values of voting and the protest tools of democracy over violence... one about the first insurgency with armed protesters against the government in 1787, armed but not as violent as Jan6 . Another about dictators. And one for kids about a bully trying to mess up their class demonstration of how the US govt is structured and how people's needs are turned into a law.

Love. It is finding the opportunities for agency, no matter how small.
