Hi everyone! It looks like I’m in good company. I haven’t written much since 2005, when I lost all of my writing in Hurricane Katrina. I was fresh out of college with my B.A. in English. It’s taken me 10+ years to feel ready to push myself again. Since then, I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music (vocal performance) and sing opera in San Francisco and San Diego. This may sound strange, but the thing I feel that I’m missing as a singer is my own voice. The words and music are already provided in the libretto and score. Sure, you have to explore the characters and their motivations, but it’s just not the same as creating something where there was nothing. I’m excited, and a little scared, to do this. I hope the words come to me and that I can stay awake.
