I’ve learned from improv that every bit of infomation is a gift.<\/p>\n
And that the most valuable kind of inforamtion is basic.<\/p>\n
Who what when where<\/p>\n
AND<\/p>\n
the relationship<\/p>\n
because who, what when and where I am doesn’t matter unless I know how it matters to you<\/p>\n
I am a wife and mother\u00a0in 2019\u00a0in Claremont California<\/p>\n
Or<\/p>\n
I am a wife and a mother during the rainiest winter of my daughter’s life in Claremont California.<\/p>\n
OR<\/p>\n
I am a wife and mother in 2019 in the town with the last traditional-style liberal arts college.<\/p>\n
Or<\/p>\n
I am a wife and mother at the beginning of the twenty first century in America<\/p>\n
…I am stretching out each part of the gift and I haven’t even gotten to the part about being a wife and mother<\/p>\n
When I am writing, I guess the facts and the relationship are between the words and what they mean to the reader, how the reader starts making relationships between the facts<\/p>\n
In improv, the relationship can be between two people.
\nBut the writer is alone, or at least alone until someone comes along to keep the writing company by reading it.<\/p>\n
So i guess I’d better be clear in my mind, what relationships i want to present to the reader<\/p>\n
once the relationships are established, the rest can ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
