Livestream ended by Endo. Pun unintended.

With apologies, the Write-a-thon livestream will have to be cut short.

Another play by Heather talked out her diagnosis of endometriosis …which is making itself known today.

Thanks to everyone who joined the stream, donated, and spread the word.

LIVE NOW! message HERE to chat!

I’ve just been informed (can you tell I’m new to this?) that no one can chat with the write on the YouTube livestream without having a YouTube channel of their own!

So: Please send me character names HERE at takeabite instead!

One Week to Writing Madness!

Our Write-a-thon will be in exactly two weeks! Here are some ground rules for the event:

-I will write a new, full-length play, in 24 hours. The live stream will begin at 6 pm on Friday, March 24, 2023, and will end at 6 pm on Saturday, March 25, 2023. The live stream will be embedded in takeabite.ca , and donations must come via that website.

-Viewers will see a split-screen: on one side, me getting more tired and frantic: on the other side, the play as it’s being written!

-Here is the play’s basic plot:

“3 very different people meet online at the start of the pandemic. They connect, but as the pandemic wears on, their individual lives change, which alters their relationship.”

-At 6 pm on March 24, YOU will give me names for the 3 characters! The first 3 donors will get to provide one name each. Submissions will be via the website.

-Every 60 minutes, I will check prompts and donor amounts. Whoever has donated the most in that 60-minute period will get their prompt used next! I must use the prompt, and I must make it make sense.

-At the end of the 24 hours, whoever has donated the highest amount will pick the name for the villain of Reasons I Hate Being Single !

I will have until March 31, 2023 to fix typos, and then the resulting play will be entered into the Alberta Playwriting Competition.
