As a TV writer, I manipulate the universe, and the plot that happens inside of said universe, so that a character finds themselves trapped in a day in which the dance competition and also prom and also Mom’s surgery are all on the SAME. NIGHT. It’s usually a bit forced but we all just suspend our disbelief and pretend that that’s how life happens. WELL THIS WEEKEND, IN MY ACTUAL LIFE, my parents are here, my play is in tech, I’m writing an episode, and we put an offer on a House. WATCH ME DO IT ALL! IT’S GOING TO BE HILARIOUS / DROPS PLATE / CRIES
