I met with my mentor this weekend. I'd given him two new plays to read.
He loves the ideas and the language. But says they have very little emotion.
I know this is my biggest problem. Even my emotional pieces are restrained by my head.
He said that my writing was like French music, all melody with no bass.
And when I fantasize about playing a musical instrument I dream of being a bass player.
Time to rewrite.
