This week is the first week I really hit the wall. I could not for the life of me think about what to write about. So, I ended up putting off my writing until Sunday evening when I realized I had to write something. Even if it was pure, unadulterated crap. So, here is the first play I've written for this project that I'm a bit 'meh' about. Week 13's play is Ain't We Got Fun. The title is, of course, from a song written in the 1920s and the play takes place in the 1920s. I've been reading a lot of F. Scott Fitzgerald recently and I think this week's play reflects that reading. All I have to say is thank goodness for reading Fitzgerald. Otherwise, I would have had literally nothing to write about this week.
So, for next week, if any of you have any play ideas or even just want to give me a word to riff off of, I would be most appreciative.
It happens sometimes. But you can always revise! :)
ReplyDeleteI learned something interesting recently. The origin of the word gimmick is American slang for a mechanical device that a gambler would use to cheat or that a magician would use to do a magic trick. There's a story in there somewhere. :)
