New production at Quantum Dragon Theatre!
So, a kickass, new announcement: my play, The Do’s and Don’ts of Time Travel is receiving its west-coast premiere in January 2019! I know, right! I’ve known about this for some time, but I promised Quantum Dragon Theatre I wouldn’t say anything until they issued their press release, which they did three days ago. Here’s their announcement…

Post-Hiatus
Whew! That was a long break. But I had a lot to do, and I hate summers in general, so if I had posted anything, it would have come off as grumpy and verbally itchy, and that doesn’t do anyone any good. Oh, also, there’s a new dog. But I digress. So, a lot has…

Completing the draft!
Apologies for being invisible for a while, but as I’ve said more than once, I’m in the final stages of my latest novel, The Lost City of the Metal Men, and things can get…unpredictable. I notice that, despite a couple of posts in between, I haven’t given an official update on the book since the…

Meaningless milestones and itinerant playwrights
Another milestone! I hit 85,000 words on my new novel, The Lost City of the Metal Men, which officially makes it the longest thing I have ever written. I don’t know if that means anything to a non-writer, but I was proud enough to pour myself a martini on Wednesday night to celebrate. There was also…

75,000 words!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I keep promising to give details of my new crappy novel, and I keep failing miserably. This time, I have a good excuse: I was actually writing it. And, I just hit the 75,000-word mark, which, if my outline is to be believed, is the three-quarters mark. And so, to celebrate, I’m…

Return of the blog!
Okay. Blog-wise, I’ve been dormant for nearly three months, and there are all sorts of reasons for that. Some are medical, which I won’t go into too much except to say that I’ve been experiencing quirky headaches for about a year, now, and with the help of a couple of doctors, I’m slowly improving. These aren’t…

The first 25,000 words
Let’s start with some local theater reporting. The winter season has kicked off, and I’m pleased to report about some wonderful things happening right now in the Philadelphia area. I saw two intriguing shows in the past couple of weeks: Informed Consent at the Lantern Theater and Marcus/Emma at InterAct Theatre. Neither was perfect, but both kept me…

Moving on…
Happy new year, everyone! So, as promised, I’m taking a little time out from my writing schedule to give you guys an update of what’s what. It should be noted that, as I do this, I have a load of laundry in the dryer, a second load in the wash, and a pot of lamb…

Another Saturnalia, shot to the underworld
Christmas has come and gone in a very quiet fashion in the Wardigo household. Sure, a goose was roasted on Christmas Day, which is probably more of a pain in the ass than it needed to be, but isn’t that what the holidays are all about? Doing stuff that’s more of a pain in the…
