Where does half a year go?

Busy busy -  highlights/lowlights were adapting my play "Scamoramaland" into a screenplay (submitted to the Nicholls competition), and losing over a month to a stupid injury (note to self: don't viciously sprain ankle again, it's surprisingly draining and inconvenient, everything's more annoying on crutches).

Adapting "Scamoramaland" was big fun -- once I freed myself from thinking of it in theatrical terms, it took off and became as weird as I felt like letting it be. To paraphrase myself in the play, reality is just a crutch for people without a pen.

Spent a fine weekend in LA at the Etheria film festival, where Jane Espenson received a richly-deserved Inspiration award.
