Had a terrific living-room reading of Wide Open Spaces (my thesis play) today. Now my head is hurting from all of the possible things which can be done with this play. My brain is just Really Full. 

It's a Really Good Thing to have friends who you can trust with "here is this thing I made that I'm not 100% sure how I feel about." 

"well, let's unpack it and give it a spin and see what happens. OH. There's your whisamaidit, and your doohicker. Hmm. Did you consider that the doohicker could be fragmented by that hawatchijig?"

"Um... no..."

"Because that's what's making your whoosis go all flickety."

"My whoosis goes flickety?"

"Yup."

"Damn, I thought so, but I didn't want to say anything."​

Right at the end of the discussion, I had a really clear image of a way that blocks can be moved around to make the play clearer and more streamlined, but it made sense RIGHT THEN and now it's getting slippery. so I'm going to go scribble on a legal pad for a bit. 

Feeling extremely grateful for such good, smart, supportive friends.
