I've been reading plays. Specifically, excerpts of plays that my friend John is writing.

I've only ever been able to write short stories and screenplays. Stage is totally beyond me - a fact that never deterred me when I was younger, but then I never wrote anything good. Now I'm finding myself wanting to tackle a play, even though my brain just doesn't wrap around the concept of a single set. (And yes, I understand that sets can be changed; what I mean is that the stage is it - all there is to work with.)

All of this pondering is serving only to remind me that I haven't actually written anything in ages. Now I am depressed.
