Holy crap, it's February already! Looking back, I did pretty well last month. I hit eight of my thirteen goals, including one unexpectedly when I was asked to act in When Pigs Fly, rather than direct. What's more, I even completed two other goals ahead of schedule - both Friends Like These and Up All Night are available in eBook format on lulu.com. They'll soon be available in the iBookstore, the Nook network and.... the Amazon Kindle! Yep! My obsessive nature came through and I managed to figure out how to format my files for Kindle in just a few hours last night. Btw, I don't mean convert the files. That's easy. I mean make the layout look good on a Kindle. It's trickier than it sounds when converting from ePub. So, both books should be available in the Kindle store in just a few hours! Craziness! Now, looking forward...
I just finished uploading both of my books, Friends Like These and Up All Night to lulu.com in eBook format. Once they're cataloged, they'll be available for purchase on the site! What's more, they'll soon be available in the iBookstore and on the Nook by Barnes & Noble. Unfortunately, they're not available on Amazon.com yet, but that's because I actually need to put together a whole separate Kindle edition (and use another ISBN number for each new version - that's six used out of my block of 10, instead of just four). However, I'm looking in to that process right now, and it seems incredibly simple. I might even be able to get it done by tonight. Wouldn't that be crazy? Honestly, five years ago I never thought of myself as a writer. Now, here I am with a full-length play, a musical, two short films and eight one-acts to my credit. It's amazing how things change. As for the print editions...
Pigs flew on Saturday night in North Hollywood. Theatre Unleashed presented what had to be its best 24-hour theatre event to date. Wow. I'm absolutely gobsmacked by how awesome it all was. I knew that when we took on Pink Floyd as a theme that we were going to get some heavy plays, and we did. The company brought the drama. However, they brought a surprising amount of levity, as well. The show turned out to be a great balance of well-executed material from across the comedy-drama spectrum. I have to tell you, there were some actors I saw on Saturday night that I had always seen as comedic talent who blew me away with their dramatic chops. Heather, Lee and Joanna all stick out in my mind, in particular. Their work in their respective shows opened my eyes to just how wide their range really is. It was also great seeing so many new company members involved in the show - Aja, Mandy, Marielle, Dex, Laura, David C. & David O. all brought their "A" game and handled themselves like true pros under the unique challenges the 24-hour shows present. The other thing I love so much about these 24-hour shows is how many new folks we get to meet and work with from the greater L.A. Theatre Community. Samantha, Cindy Marie, Keith, Tracy, Vincent, Rene, Jason and Ellen - all incredibly talented people I'd love to work with again. Not to mention old friends and past company members like Ben and Vance coming over to play for the day. I love being a part of this community.
