Maybe things are better in the wonderland between dreams and this world
I want to keep my thoughts intact; being here is awful for that. Farewell for awhile!

I went to see Death Of A Salesman today! I read the play last year and I think this production did it the justice it deserves
It also reminded me of why I love using stage lighting to create certain effects and emphasis

I was in Forbidden Planet today and behind me heard:
"I want a skibidi toilet!"
"but we have toilets at home."
I think that guy had no idea what his kid was on about lol

since I haven't said it outside of stream in a while:
trans women are women
trans men are men
trans right are human rights
I will not tiptoe around my support for those facts to be more "palatable".
I will not be quiet to make terfs comfortable.
That shit will not fly in my community or life.

Taken from recent writing practice! The Sleepy Storyteller wanted to try coffee because he wanted to stay awake for everyone. This was after being told that coffee isn't going to keep him awake with his condition

aha maybe it's better to post less given that my random replies get noticed way more than the actual writing that I spend way too long on~
this feels like I'm giving up?! people don't need to know this but I'm saying it anyway

Taken from my play's recent practice writing. I'm not sure how I feel about dipping cake into my teacup
I think this came from when I was introduced to dipping Bourbon biscuits in my tea a few weeks ago. It was life changing!
(Tagging these with #writing from here!)

I've been told a few times that I should take breaks from playwriting because I'm very much placing high expectations upon myself from it
I can't believe I'm doing this but I'm going to finish this part and then... do something else?!

I'm starting the draft to end all drafts today. Yay!
I wrote some helpful notes to refer to when writing on my pegboard and it goes from "Remember that people support your work!" to "Rushing is for the weak"
They're helping somehow

I should probably think about what to do if my play doesn't get funded. The people who applied for funding haven't gotten a response yet... but maybe it's still too early?
Even if it doesn't happen this time, I'm sure we could put together something!

When I picked up the teapot in the kitchen I thought to myself "would confetti inside a teapot be called *confettea*?"
I immediately ran back to my desk to add it to the play's edit notes. How did I not think of this before?!

An undecided description I gave to the Fantastic Magician was "He appears to be covered in glitter" because, if you have any experience with glitter, it's that once you sprinkle that stuff somewhere you're going to be finding it for the next 5 years
Maybe that's why he switched to confetti

A wasp really wanted to become my roommate before I chased it off with a sweeping brush and watched as it flew towards the sun
...or maybe towards someone else's open window?

I looked out the window and saw someone casually walking with a teacup and saucer, nothing else
I've walked with teapots before but I have a new aspiration now

I am WAY TOO NERVOUS to talk with the author tomorrow. Honestly, they scare me a bit because they usually have a serious tone of voice. This is my first work so I hope they're not harsh on me!

In the world of practice writing, you can get stuck in a puppet theatre with a door! Actual old theatres didn't have doors thankfully
He seems so happy to have a screwdriver to get her out lol
Also "theatre of captivity?" I really like it

Half of my followers are mass following/spam accounts and it's seriously annoying. Blocking them does nothing and I can't remove the ones that seem to have deactivated (sob)

I've had a potted cactus for a while now, but I never named it. "Jim Prickens" (not a typo) was the name of the last one, so I'll have to come up with something else for this one!

My dream had someone give me a paper with pictures of their favourite character on it, Naruto
Except it wasn't Naruto but they were confused and used photos of Tsukasa instead and I was incredibly upset about it
No more dreams like this! Please!

When I was in school, we weren't allowed to use kettles even when most of the students in my year were 18. We weren't allowed to get hot water from the canteen either
I seriously considered just bringing my own kettle to school. I still consider bringing a kettle to certain places!!!

oh no I remembered I'm meeting with an author to talk about my play this weekend
if this means it's getting a production, I really really hope there's enough interest amongst performers. I'd perform too!
