Final January Check-In

Whoops! The month has slipped away from me, filled as it was with way too many ups and downs. The ups: Will Power (Hip Hop Theatre, not self help) workshop and interview in Minneapolis, fun catching up with family and friends, the end of my immediate financial woes in sight. The downs: not enough writing, not enough money, lingering feelings of disconnect. Sometimes Los Angeles makes me feel like the stupid, plain girl mooning around at the back of the high school cafegymatorium at the big dance, bad sound echoing around her and the bad lighting making her feel all the more conspicuous.
