As if I didn’t have enough on the go, I suddenly got a new script idea for a play.

For those of you unfamiliar with my older work, I have two completed plays: Shis’ka Bob’s Odditorium and In Bob We Trust. The first play was written around 2000, the second was written a year or two later. I had ideas for a third play to complete the trilogy but never got around to actually writing it.

I kind of retired for a while and have come out of it over the past year or so, I wasn’t doing anything creative. I had a lot of other things going on, legally I can’t really talk about that right now. Since leaving my homeland and returning to action, I’ve had a lot of projects in the works. The problem has been that I’ve probably been spinning too many plates, maybe I’ve been trying to make up for lost time.

This idea for a new play script and my review show are what I’m going to concentrate on. The review show will probably be scaled back quite a bit as I’m realizing it’s a lot of work and I really don’t have money to spend on going to movies or buying books. I’ve been waiting for a book that came out last month to become available at the library but it’s been taken out by someone else. It’s not due back for another couple of weeks so I’ll have to wait.

I’m really excited about my new play, though. I mean, this is where it all started for me. Before my first play, I was just a busker on the streets of downtown Victoria. Then a fateful first meeting with Ab, who became a good friend, sparked a collaborative storm that died down for a few years but is back in full force now.

I can’t really say much about the content of the new play, but I will say that it might see the return of a certain bumbling Italian explorer. Then again, it might not; all Ab and I have right now is an idea. We don’t have an outline yet but that will be coming up soon.

Until next time: stay calm, be brave, watch for the signs.
