Late Night Writing

I am now on my fourth rewrite of this same play. I still think this description rings true.


Late Night Writing
(written June 18, 2006)

I am in the process of writing a play. I have written it. Rewritten it. And am now attempting my third rewrite after having some friends rip it to shreds. I really want it to be a good play.

I get on a roll with it. I get in "the zone". Then, nothing. It occurs to me, as I sit at the computer with writer's block, that late night writing is like a failed orgasm. Yes. Yes! YES! . . . Was that it?
