Has a great lunch with college friend Jason Hall yesterday. I managed to sound competent in talking about life and writing well enough. Jason just finished his MFA studies in Playwriting at Ohio University, and was teaching adjunct classes around the area. It was refreshing to actually have a face-to-face conversation with someone about projects, structure, etc. I was reminded, though, to keep writing; to pursue germinal ideas and not get lazy. To join some sort of writing group to keep the conversation going. When I feel lazy, or when I feel like playing a video game, I need to ask myself if I have fulfilled my obligation to my writing first. Write a germinal idea, write on this blog, whatever. There's no excuse not to be moving on this.
Oh, and to keep reading about writing. Jason recommended great books about general writing and the craft. I have a few books of my own to tackle as well.
There are no excuses. And I don't just have one idea. There's plenty to do.
