Usually, I end up making vague plans to get a lot done, but end up sitting around, watching a lot of television. I think the problem is that I've never set up a routine for myself. When I'm doing a show, I live like a transient, dressing out of my laundry pile and eating whatever I can pick up on my way home. When I have a string of days at home, I don't do much differently. The idea of following some schedule is foreign to me, but I think it's what I need.
Summer is a really slow time for community theater.
Since a lot of the groups around here are in older buildings without air conditioning, they shut down from May until September. The only show I have lined up is Sylvia , which I'm performing once for Festival. We don't have that many rehearsals planned, as the rest of the cast has done this show before, and I'm just a fill-in. I could probably use this time wisely, get my house organized and force myself to sit for a couple of hours every night writing. Spend a good deal of time looking for a new job, as my self-imposed deadline for leaving this one is less than three weeks away.
