Guilty Rehearsal Blog

I am a stage manager for Titus and I am currently at rehearsal. I am taking rehearsal notes -- as a stage manager should -- but my cast is currently sitting in circles with their phones and laptops out searching for new lines to add to the show. So it gives my mind time to saunter over to that short story draft I have due tomorrow.

Inspiration is failing me right now, so I am turning to the realities around me. Someone is whistling creepily. The breeze is blowing softly through the courtyard. Voices echo around me, but none of it is inspiring me to write a magically realistic story.
