RANDOM THOUGHTS OF A WRITER.

 I used to dream of an artist community where the everyday were relegated to what needed to be done to give space to the work.  Instead of the work attemting to find space in the everyday.

Don`t go there now.  Always a romantic dream really, and in reality I think I`m too anti-social to make it work for me.  

I wish there could be more discussions about the work, not whether like to dislike, but the work process and thought process, and listen not to agree or disagree but to think about and take out of the discusson what you need for your own work.   A serious discussion without the need to lighten it with a joke.  

Drama not explosions or action really, but the internal contradictions of character.  For instance a play about war.  Everyone knows its a bad thing, and people suffer but it keeps on happening.  And has done since the beginning of time.  

Drama look beyond the today and blaming those in power, and media for all our ills but look internally at character and then express externally.  

Writing a play just now on this subject called `How Wars Start.`  It`s set in an ordinary office!
