I took a brief respite from my add-20k-to-Thorn of Dentonhill project to write a ten-minute play over the weekend for Austin Scriptworks. I’ve been a frequent participant in the 10-Minute Play Weekend Fling… in fact, I think I’m the most frequent participant. Over the years I’ve done it nine times, missing only the first two (before I was a Scriptworks member) and in 2005 when the project was to do a five-minute radio script instead of a ten-minute play. Of my previous eight scripts, five were chosen for the showcase production: Last Train Out of Illinois (which I still hope to expand into a full-length show someday), Freaks of Nature and Acts of God (what I would consider the weakest of my “winning” scripts), Danger Girl’s Night Off (a personal favorite, and soon to be made into a short film by a friend of mine), Hourglass (my wife’s favorite) and Ten Minutes Ago.
