Tuesday - On Angels and other things

Purple ink is the way to go for me today. So, when I started this blog, I said I wanted to write. I do. I just can't seem to dive in and get wet, though. I want to write something meaningful and beautiful and necessary. Something that will touch hearts and minds. I really want to leave something behind when I'm gone, something so beautiful it makes you weep. What I really want is to be is the female Tony Kushner. In all my life, I could never write something as beautiful as Angels in America. If you have not seen the play or the miniseries, get on Blockbuster.com or Netflix and add it to your queue RIGHT NOW. It's poetry, pure and clean. And everyone in it, speaking the words, is so true and amazing. I don't know why I'm on Angels in America today so much. Probably because I received one of my two monthly magazines and Mary Louise Parker's on the front. She played Harper Pitt in the miniseries. Anyway, I'm going to really put myself in the writing mode and see what I can come up with. Writers say write what you know. That's a place to start. Where's your place?
