In this episode of Chaos & Creativity I interview Ava Roy. Theater genius and the woman behind the We Players theater troupe.

From the C&C show notes:

It’s a wonderful episode.

Six days ago we, meaning my production company and I, decided to produce a play. One I write based on a compendium of articles about working behind a bar. I have short window to get the work done—deadlines are already looming. It’s not going great. But, then again, it never does until it does.

I’m also on the road this week, pulling my laptop out at every opportunity to write drivel so awful, a career in bat guano collection is looking attractive. That said, this week’s travels reminded me of a writing tip I hand out often: Don’t be precious about where you write.

If you write for a living, you must learn to be a creative soldier—working in any environment you find yourself. Writing happens in the head. If you develop environmental attachments, you’ll tank yourself. Good habits are free, so develop one that compels you to write often and anywhere.
