I'm doing 27 things
I am writing 3 at once. One full blown musical, one one act musical and one straight play. I have some much information bouncing around in my head that is hard to stay motivated on just one project. I am in need of a partner to keep me in the check, but I have artistic trust issues.

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: My friend Clay offered me the music director position for "Assassins" and I took it, and it restored my faith in what artist can do when the egos are dropped and the main focus is the craft of putting on a brilliant production.That and I am 23. Music directing a Sondheim production that young makes my resume pop. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: Through years of bitterness and depression, I realized that being angry was not going to change the past or make it better. But through meditation and years of self hatred, I was able to put away the guilt and realize that I can't carry these feelings around. They needed to be shed. Read how I did it…

I do not know how.
I am a fairly big girl and every man I have been interested in has been very shallow in the end. I wish I had known how shallow they were when I first met them, I would not have even been friends with them if I had known. It has taken me a very long time to identify this pattern.
The opportunity to develope and perform the material was probably the most stressful, emotional and the most joyous times in my career.
It was an up hill battle the whole way to opening night. I have lost friends over this project, mainly because of the lack of support and negitivity towards my effort; also, partially my reclusive nature during the creative process. I was very depressed over these things and that changed the direction of the piece all together. But hearing and seeing all the people in the audience begin to stand at the end of the finale was the most rewarding moments of my theatrical life.
