 They grow. They start both sides. Oh, it's here. They shouldn't have tiny, you know, unless a lifetime. Please stay. Oh yeah, we are. We are. We are fix today, because we missed the play. We have been asking her away for two weeks because the fabulous Mr. Stay was doing some wonderful things in the building. And there was a crowd, a crowd, a whole lot of things here. So we weren't here for them to make space for them. But we're back today on the 10th of October, 1010. And this is a play. And we're going to create action and dialogue together. And it's also a medical free, free class. And you never know who will show up. And we have some guests. What are your names? I just want to know who you are. Laurie. You're Laurie. Hi Laurie. You guys are here. Where are you from? Are you from New York? Massachusetts. Where? Where? And it just goes to show that Watch Me Work is about us doing our work together. Because you guys have got some really cool projects that you're working on. A lot of us are writing. We're thinking about writing and you're eating a sandwich. Fantastic. We're working on that sandwich. And so anyway, so what we'll do is we will create the action together, which is going to be going to work together for 45 minutes. And then we'll take your questions about your work and your creative process. We've got some folks watching. And by the live stream and the blue is going to give them the address to tweet the question after. Watch Me Work SLP and use the hashtag New Play. Watch Me Work SLP and hashtag New Play. If you want to tweet the question, we'll do our best to answer the question. And we're going to set our timer for 45 minutes to get to work. I like the hashtag. I'm going to, I might turn on a sound effect first typing. I'm going to work, I think, on my iPad. Okay, so we're going to, we're going to begin. Just start on the box. All right. We're going to cater for iOS 7. Here's some bad ones. So that was the work. That was the work. I'm just talking about iOS 7. So you don't have to take it. You can upset yes. That was the work part of the show. The action part. And now we're going to do the dialogue part of the show, which is you asking new questions about your work and your creative process. And if you are out watching on live streaming, what is the... Watch Me Work SLP with the hashtag New Play. Watch Me Work SLP with the hashtag New Play. And we'll answer your questions right here. If anybody has anything. And I'm speaking on live streaming. And I'm currently writing a feature of my first one. And I have all of these wonderful, famous characters who can only be on-screen for five minutes at a time. And I'm having trouble deciding who's the protagonist because it's all of their stories. It's the story of this movie. Right. Right. And I guess you can... When I think about stuff like, I don't know, The Breakfast Club, there's no real... I'm thinking of films where they're where you collect them. Right. That told the story. Right. Where there was an ensemble. Right. But since it's my first one, it's... I feel like it's a little ambitious and I don't know... Like, I know where they start and I know where they end. But I don't necessarily know who the story should start with. I see that being my guess. I feel like there should be a clear protagonist, but I don't know if there is. I think each of their stories is individually interesting. Right. And they're all related. So, she's writing the screenplay. She writes a lot of plays. She's writing the screenplay. And she has a lot to care for the picture. And she's thinking it's probably an ensemble piece. But she's also feeling that it... You know. She's also feeling that it should be... There should be a clear protagonist. So you're thinking that it's an ensemble piece, but you're feeling that it should be a clear protagonist. I think what it is is I love all the backstories that I've created for all of them. Right. The kind of how we got here in school. Right. And how we split apart and where our lives are now. And I've had one character that seems to be a movie, but that's the end of the story. So that's what I'm going to do now. But I've got an end of the story who's no longer about... It was no longer about him, but more so about everybody else within the team. That's all right. So what you can do is you can use some like, aim, you know, like pull your eyes right now. Okay. And your movie's like starting. You see? Yeah. Okay. That's it. So go with him. Just go with him. Go with him and if it, you know, if it ends like it is, you know, it will be the story of how he, how he started watching him and then got involved with the lives of his state friends. But yeah, go with what you've got now. And you can always write it. You know, you're going to be writing. So start with what you've got. And don't fight that because then you're just fighting what you've already got. Yeah. You know what I mean? It sounds very cool. It's fun. It's fun. That's the main character. That's the main character. Can you get in my view? Yeah. Go ahead. Okay. Right, right. Yes. Okay. Okay. Anybody else have any questions? We're in for a session. I'm dealing with a lot of issues with, right, which is procrastination, right? I loved procrastination, right? I wake up early and do so much procrastination. I'm hard. I'm a costume designer. At the beginning of the procrastination, and I think it's like, the years of like, your ideas, right? So I just don't know how to like, get past it. Yeah. Right. That's a really good question to ask. Because procrastination, I love it. You can get up early, so you can procrastinate. No. One hour early. Because I know it's going to be me, like getting coffee, chicken, what do you mean? Right. Right. Okay. So you're just working with me. You're actually working with me. I think getting past it might imply, in your mind, getting past your procrastination might make you think, it might make you think it's a one-time thing. Right? It's like a hill. If you can only get past the hill, you know what I mean? It will be behind you. It will be like those people we imagine who are creating a procrastination. I imagine, I just started thinking this yesterday, so it might not have been a coincidence. But I imagine procrastination, did anybody see the hobbit? No. The realist is the hobbit moving. You know, he's that light-colored, white, adsorbed, you know? He has no hair. He's a blonde. He's kind of a weed guy. He has no hair. He's cut off somebody's head. He's like very muscular, and he's not very articulate. Right? Right. And then I translate what he says, because no one can understand what he's talking about. And he kills people. He cuts off their head. I imagine that is my realist. There is, you know, but I'm feeling it. I don't like getting around to him. He's a muscular guy. He's going to track me down, but if you are, I'm not going to find you. Wherever I am, he's going to find me. Right? So it's more about just where you had to deal with him on a day-to-day basis. And maybe you've got some strategies. You get up early. You get up early. In the morning, that's good. So you do a little planning. Right? Sometimes you have to take little steps. What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? I mean, right, sometimes you've got to do that. Or, I'm just going to sit here at my team, write us a work, you know, with a paper and a pen and a typewriter, what not, but design your questions for my collage pieces. And just, right? It's just like, oh, you're just looking around. You're happy to do it with me. You don't bother, you know, what I'm doing, looking in the software mirror and make sure you like looking good. You see what I mean? So you have to kind of constantly be thinking of strategies to outwit him for, you know, it's a constant. It, just so you know, regardless, so, it'll probably never go away. You have it for life. It's always something you're going to have to be dealing with. What I've found is the smarter I get, the bigger this monster is. He's bigger. Oh shit, he's huge. Oh, I mean what? And he's even less articulate. Like, it goes on and on and on. So just know that it's something you can't deal with. And keep changing after game. Okay, watch the hobbit. Really, because he's a little guy with like really wide feet. You see yourself like you're a little hobbit warrior, or you're a dolphin princess, you know, and you just kind of think you're like, I have five million ways to get through this today. And some days you don't get through it. Some days you put it in and it comes off your head. So your head will go back. Okay, so just keep on keeping on. That's the real, okay? And just know like artists who have had productions and successes as Broadway or whatever, still have to do with that shit. It doesn't go away. I deal with it. I don't, you know, well, writers and artists do it all the time. Okay. So welcome to the club. Everybody over here. You don't want to be any of my persons who have ads on. As I just said many ads, ads on, ads on. Besides ads on this. Anyone can do it. Yeah, I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. It's crazy And I know that today because you can have to median them for two weeks with a little figure that 45 minutes is a little longer than a minute two weeks ago, because we've been here weekly, and I do it weekly. So it's a little bit harder, which means practice helps. But it's also just leading into the thing that you're doing. Timer helps. Big time. You're, you're, that adds up. You can't tell time. You just know what to do with that. It's a set of timer. Not a good book. It's an egg timer, kitchen timer, and say, I'm going to work for 20 minutes. Big equivalent of this. A little tiny step. 20 minutes does not threaten him. Okay? So things like a timer help me focus. And I kind of just lead me to what I'm doing. I try to listen to what I'm doing instead of, you know, just by many things that are going on and people calling on me for all of them. You know, you know, that kind of thing. It is, it is part of practice. It's a lot of practice. It's like, while you're some money, like, or swimming, or any kind of thing that you start out, you can barely do a little bit. You can use your, you can build your practice. But you're endurance. That's your, I mean, even in art, it's like an endurance sport. It's an extremely endurance sport. Also being a mom, an extremely endurance sport. But, you know, it's not an Olympic sport, but it's an extremely endurance sport being an artist. You know, you have to do all kinds of things. You might, oh my God. You know, you let the laborer perfectly forget about it. Working with my mom is amazing. Focusing in extreme circumstances. Making something out of nothing. I mean, it's amazing stuff we have to do all the time. You know, so if we just do something out of the back, we're serving the people and then they go, the most thing you can do is like, throw them down, and you have to go and make something else. Branding out of nothing. You know, over and over and over again. And that's your life. It's an extreme sport. It's like, if I wasn't an artist, I think it was, you know, those people who run through the years for a while, hundreds of miles at a time. That's right. I mean, you can't make a living out of it. That's what I can do. I can just run. I know, I got it. There are some things that have not really been out of the shape to say that. Okay, we're done. We'll see you next week. We'll be here.
