(I am about to extend the CRAP out of this metaphor.)
Announce! Announce! Last night, I finally finished giving birth to my new play. It was a long and painful birth, involving a lot of me going I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!! and THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!! all the while, refusing the epidural. I am now the proud new parent of Cutie and Bear. It has bad hair, a lot of birth defects, but really great eyes. I have a good feeling about it, and can’t wait til it starts to walk, get into things, and break my freaking heart. I have no idea why this is italicized. I think I broke my blog.
