Nazi Lavender | New Play Exchange
newplayexchange.org
My play is seeking a debut. An aging, former U.S. Army guard recounts his days as a back-up guard at Spandau prison, guarding former High Ranking Nazis sentenced at the Nuremburg Trials. As the play unravels, a chilling yet intimate portrait of the human side of inhumanity begins to emerge. #theatre
I like distant, dark and obscure things that at the same time are somehow nostalgic.

I recently started working at a company that has a gym for employees. I use it on days i work. I never used a gym before in life, but I figured it is time to look forward to my future health as well.

Negative self chatter is common to creative people. We tend to easily self-bash and this contributes to anxiety and depression and other things. Break your bad self-bashing habits. Document how often you tell yourself you suck. Mark it on a calendar to make it visible.

With the seeming success of #DeathByLightning, (which I thought about joining Netflix to watch), I am seriously considering a remarketing campaign of one of my previous novels, There Is Pain Here. It's a fantasy with President Garfield as protagonist, set in the Afterlife.
There Is Pain Here
James Garfield, the 20th President of the United States…

I have not watched the Orville. To each his own. But it is NOT the best Star Trek right now because it is NOT Trek. No matter how much of a love letter it may be to Trek, it isn't and never will be so. I just hate when people say that.

The two neighboring counties to my own offer library cards to citizens of my county as well. I love that. (And yes, I have one from both.)

I am playing Grumio in Taming of the Shrew. So far, he's about on third myself, one third Bob Newhart, and one third Murdoch from the A-Team. (The character...not the MAGA nut actor that played him.)

What is interesting to you to hear about from non-famous people? What aspects of their lives/adventures?

I do wish I had more interesting things to share. They seem like nice slice of life things to me, but rarely make an impact, either here, or other platforms. Or, for that matter, my various essays and memoir.

Ask yourself if you need to also plan out your down time. You may find yourself overlooking even your leisure if you wait for it to arrive at a convenient time. It is important enough to seek out.

The biggest takeaway from working #customerservice as an Autistic person has been this: a solid majority of people do not even for a moment consider the possibility that a person, an organization, a family, a country, etc could possibly do, think, see or need different things from themselves.

I have decided the time has come for me to write a manual to my future self about how to do my daily stuff. Actually more of an agenda. An answer to my own executive dysfunction that has been more in the way lately since I got a job during this already mentally taxing year. #autisticadult

I also tend to greatly prefer linear storytelling, even though that seem almost out of fashion now. I live life in chronological order, why can't my reads be the same??

so I have gone through a lot of CD books this last month or so. and much like when I read I notice that a lot of modern novels flashback too often and for too long. The trend seems to be to set up a premise and then spend scores of pages describing how characters lived before the premise.

Entering the first #holidays season without Mom. I right now do not have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving. That's a little shitty. But a friend of mine has already agreed to spend a few days through Christmas with me which is good news. Between the two, I'd rather have Christmas. #grief

In an enormous win against executive disfunction, I both went to to the gym and applied the first layer of weather proof paint to my porch yesterday, and today I kept a doctor's appointment I did not feel like keeping, and later picked up groceries. #autism

How early is too early to think about how to achieve a long-term goal? I both do not want to waste mental space I may need to get through today and tomorrow, but I also do not want to turn around after a few thousand tomorrow's and realize I never planned something out. Thoughts? #longtermplans

I am pissed at the used car I got recently. Very much needed it, yes, but the CD player that I have listened to so many audio books on since I got it, keeps malfunctioning, and i have no idea how to fix it. I only just started to enjoy this major plus. #audiobooks

Several people have quit the company I work for lately, including my favorite coworker, as I mentioned last week. That may open the door for more hours for me some day, I don't know. But I am not over her departure enough yet to consider any potential pluses.

Is all pho spicy? Or just what I tried a few minutes ago that is still burning the edge of my lips?

This year of course, #grief has slowed my output. However even before that, I suspected for a few years that I may have been holding myself to too high a standard for my work. Almost nobody ever reads it or buys it, and that is part of my reluctance too. But that is connected to the same fear.

I am not a perfectionist in most cases. Not even in my #writing, because being one about writing is a great way to never get it done. Ever. That being said, I suspect at times I have written less because I expect as good or better than what it out there, when in many ways it probably already is.
