You might have noticed I’ve been a little absent this week. Or maybe you didn’t notice, in which case feel free to carry on carrying on. Either way, my mind’s been on other writing endeavors.

And the dentist, but that’s over and whew to that.

In any case, we now have dates for our next yet-to-be-titled sketch comedy show! We’ll be running October 1, 8, 22, and 29 (we’re off October 15) in Donny’s Skybox Theater at Second City. And this week is a flurry of putting together the final script, as we start rehearsals next week.

Next week, people. That’s crazy. And we all know October will be here so much faster than it has any right to be.

So I’ve been revising my material, and I have some more revisions to get out. And if there’s anything new — I don’t think I have anything new, but if there is — I’ve got to get it done today.

And that sums me up for the moment. Wearing different writer’s hats can prove pretty challenging, as it requires the abrupt changing of gears, which are sometimes locked in a different position, and sometimes kinda in need of oil.

Meanwhile, if you need a fix, go ahead and grab a free copy of Better Living Through GRAVY and Other Oddities, which you may enjoy if you liked my recent short story Sell Me Another One.

Otherwise, mark your calendars, because October is coming up fast!

Check out  my full-length novels,  Her Cousin Much Removed,  The Great Paradox and the Innies and Outies of Time Management and Aunty Ida’s Full-Service Mental Institution (by Invitation Only), and the sequel, Aunty Ida’s Holey Amazing Sleeping Preparation (Not Doctor Recommended) which is now available!
