workshopping and aristotle...

Well... I haven't checked the syllabus, but it feels like it's probably time to write another blog post. Most likely, I missed the last one from neglecting to check the schedule, and if so... so sorry Jenny! End of semester lack of diligence...

So... I am really looking forward to tomorrow's workshops, and am also sort of glad that I'm in a group without anyone from the previous group (I really do love all you guys, don't take it personally!) so that they can look at it with fresh eyes. I totally agree with Julia that after doing several drafts, you think each one is great, until you start the next rewrite and change a thousand things, and I for one am losing, as a result, all objectivity (if I ever had it!) On that note... were we supposed to have read everyone's plays by Tuesday? I have yet to get my group's plays, if so... haha you know who you are, guys! :)

And Jenny, I would love to second Julia's rewriting question: How do you know when enough is enough? It seems like everything can be dissected eternally, but if we had eternity to rewrite, nothing would ever be finished! :)
