Write Fotis, Write!

Happy Monday.

1. There are days when I am reminded that I essentially make my living as a writer. Today is one of those days. I have been over the course of the last week, writing holiday sketches for the BNW’s soon to be Holiday show and it is safe to say that my (along with the rest of the cast’s) writing about Christmas before we’ve even hit Halloween is totally responsible for our recent rash of cold weather. Sorry.

Aside from writing for work, I am trying to put together a story for tomorrow night’s Rockstar Storyteller show*. The show’s theme revolves around music which for me, is both good and bad. Good because I love music and could probably write about it constantly, and bad because 1/3 of my Fringe show already dealt with music. What if I used up my good stories about music for the year? That’s a very real possibility.

Actually, I have a pretty great idea for another story. Actually actually, it’s a combination of three stories about music that I’ve always wanted to do, but for some reason or another haven’t been able to get on their feet. The trick now will be taking the parts of each of those stories that I like and coming up with something cohesive and…brilliant. And 12 minutes long.

It’s been since Fringe that I’ve done some solo stuff, so I hope you all get a chance to see me and some of the best storytellers in town tomorrow night at the BLB.

*What happens when the Rockstars are asked to incorporate music into their writing, in any form they choose? A banjo might make an appearance. Maybe a story about the constant soundtrack that pervades Israel. Maybe a drum kit. Who knows? Rockstars Mike Fotis, Allegra Lingo, Dave Mondy, Amy Salloway, Ben San Del and Joseph Scrimshaw take to the stage with new creations, and Courtney McLean is your host throughout.
