Welcome!

Thanks to StoryRobot and Creative Creativity, two blogs we read obsessively, for the recent mentions!

We’re still gearing up here, with a fair amount of content on its way!  We’re also working on a wiki as a place to store our notes on styles and games.  The latter is pretty well covered in other places, but we’ve got a lot of notes on various styles that we’d like to put up on the web!

So stay tuned!

The first one’s always the hardest

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

That’s what a guy told me after our first kiss. He was right. And so it is, for me, with blog posts–the first post is indeed the hardest. There’s internal pressure to make it really count, to explain who I am and why I’m here and what I want to say and to do so cleverly and eloquently. So I dismiss all of the little ideas as not substantial enough for a first post.

With kissing, there discovery and magic in the hesitation, in the wondering, in the tension. With improv there’s discovery and magic in the plunging ahead, in the bravery of “what if,” in the risk of failure. And so, with this as my minor hesitation, I embark.

…and sometimes the payoff comes in getting past the hesitation–it was one heck of a kiss.
