I was asked to write for this blog a while
ago.
Told I could promote my upcoming shows and if I wanted to, I could promote
the PTE School, but I didn’t have to.
I’ve struggled with what to write, I
thought about looking through the blog at what other people had written but I
was worried that would influence what I wrote too much and wouldn’t come across
as genuine. So I decided to do what I was taught in Hope McIntyre’s writing
class last year. Put pen to paper and just start writing. Don’t think. Just
write.
I’ve never considered myself a writer, even though I’ve somehow managed
to write and perform 2 successful one-man Fringe shows. I’m currently working
on a third for the 2014 Winnipeg Fringe Festival. I’m also re-writing my first
two “I Hate Bill Pats” shows into one and plan to take it on a Fringe tour it
next summer, as well as performing it at the 2014 Winnipeg Comedy Festival.
I
am living my dream and PTE School is a huge part of that. Without their
training and support none of this would be possible. If you’re looking to get
into this crazy business or just looking for a creative outlet look no further.
Sign up for a class at PTE. You can edit your writing and your life to death.
Especially if you’re like me and never satisfied. Or you can leave it and move
forward. Pen to paper. Don’t think.
