Okay, here’s a question. How are all of you out there dealing with the larger influx of email communication that we are getting these days? Is it me, or is picking up the phone more uncommon and in-person meetings too hard to schedule because people are too busy?

I think I am getting upwards of 100 emails a day. I wish that I were joking. My gmail is bursting with emails, and that’s after I unsubscribed to a bunch of junkmail. So, this is really all work-related and personal correspondence.

Who has a good system of filing and responding to all this stuff? I’m drowning. As a freelance worker and a writer, those emails are always flowing in faster than I can deal with ‘em. And they’re coming like a river of hot volcano and they’re threatening to burn my house down.

Anybody?

As such, the school year has booted up again and I’m about to get mad busy. Started curriculum building at the New Vic yesterday and am very excited to be working on The Enchanted Pig from the Young Vic in the UK. It is nice to be thinking about how to excite young people for a show before they even get there. And this one’s a stunner. Full-blown, mad-cap opera. Gorgeous.

Also getting ready to train and build curriculum at some of my other TA gigs. People laugh when I say I have 6 jobs. But I do. It’s going to be an interesting year.

And there’s that little matter of the play that I have to get done for Labfest. I have a month. No problem.
