How I'm Doing on My Dream

As some of you know, I have a long term dream to create and star in my own off-Broadway or Broadway show, which is a parody of a New Age workshop. Last summer a partner and I staged a version of it in New York, Boston and locally, in my town in the Adirondacks, and screened our audiences for feedback.

Though there were laughs to be had, we both felt there was a lot of room for improvement. And since then, I've been mulling over how best to proceed with the rewrite. Here's what's happening now:

Every night for the past week, I've had sleeping dreams in which I am persistently nudged ahead to the next level. I am flying up to the top of a mountain, or having a glorious affair with an unnamed man, or somehow moving forward in full glory - and I see there is no going back.

So each morning now, I sit down and write Serenity. Either I chip away at her blog (Marketing With Serenity) or I work on the script. And each morning I don't want to. I think I won't have any ideas. Or I try to procrastinate my way out of it.

But when I finally sit down to write, it's as if the tap has been turned on and out comes this funny, exciting, great stuff. The flow is once again flowing … and I am the lucky recipient.

If you're avoiding your dream, don't. There's fun to be had here. I promise!

Serenity will be heard! She can't be kept down, force of nature that she is! You have the "Wind of God" behind you on this one.

Can't wait to see what she comes up with!
