In less than 3 weeks, I will be submitting ‘About the Whether’ to The Royal Court Theatre in London, as a member of their National Playwriting Group. Plotting out each character’s journey during the play on notecards helps to show where the missing story beats are. It also provides some much-needed perspective when my brain gets stuck in the traditional ‘left to right, top to bottom’ way that writing makes you work on paper, and consequently, think.
