I Just Need To Talk

Cheers! Happy to help. Granted, I sculpt now and just write as a means to flush certain stuff from the noggin. But for me, it works really well to have a solid image in my head full to the brim with all the senses that I can sort of inhabit. Then I just ask: 1. how did this happen?/What led to this point? 2. Where does this end? 3. How do I describe it? And I do.

A prof once told me, for editing, to removed everything until it was ready to fall apart, there's a lot to be learned from her statement. Just like crafting a good delivery, you want the correct words, in the correct order, with the least amount of distraction to cut directly to the end. On one you want a laugh as a pay off, on the other, you really want any emotion that is germane to that piece.

If you have stuff you're working on and don't feel it's ready, feel free to flip me a DM. I've got a shit ton of shows coming up, so I may take a few days to review, but I'll always get it and do it.
