With playwriting, everything comes back to FLOW
1/ While writing, losing yourself in the scene
2/ Actors utterly embodying your characters
3/ The collective dream-state you're weaving the audience into
What is flow? Timelessness, boundlessness, impulse, essence, presence 💫

Some of the best, most enduring writing advice I've ever received is to make your play UNDENIABLE.
Not good, not bad, not well-written, not to everyone's taste necessarily, just impossible to deny in the strength of it's cry in the dark.

Don't "toughen up"
I had a conversation with an artist recently, a very sensitive soul, who said she was trying to "toughen up" to keep pursuing her art
While this is supposedly received wisdom, part of me balked
Our job is to be sensitive. To stay alive & aware. Soft.
Keep the channel open!
