I am not a machine

In theory, I am at the point where I am supposed to be coming up with my own tv show ideas but I just don’t have them. Nothing formed. My ideas are still Plays.  I have maybe sentences, or one character who does a thing, or one place that’s cool. Fragments. Nothing full. At first I felt bad about this, but then I realized: I just finished a massive new play and all of my thinking went there. My brain is fried. I’m spent. What’s more, I am not an idea machine and this is fine.  I can only really date one idea at a time, and I can’t cheat on one with another. I’m faithful and loyal and obsessed. But: I might need to train my brain to build story around tiny things.  Perhaps, this is TV. In the meantime, here is a list of small interesting things that will not be coming to a TV in your house at all anytime soon:

– A Standards and Practices Lady

– people who grow blueberries?

– Drought

– tiny Chairs!

– The economy?

– irrational  fear of Cancer.

– …..blueberries
