We went to the Miller Outdoor Theater tonight and enjoyed Twelfth Night.
My son did not particularly care for any of Olivia’s servants, finding them cruel and their actions painful. But the play was magnificent. He has been reading Shakespeare and watching the plays as movies. He said the play was far superior on stage. I tend to agree.
The play was very well done, though I am still not as fond as Duke Orsino as one ought to be, since he is the leading male character. Ever since my first exposure to the play, I have always been most fond of Antonio. I liked the characterization of him tonight as well.

I would really like to go to Inprint’s Houston workshops.
Three times a year, Inprint offers non-credit Writers Workshops. These workshops are considered Houston’s “Best Place for Aspiring Writers” (Houston Press) and are led by accomplished local authors, including students, alumni, and faculty from the prestigious University of Houston Creative Writing Program. Workshops are open to individuals of all backgrounds, including those who are exploring creative writing for the first time, as well as aspiring writers who want to prepare work for publication.
Workshops are conducted in various genres, including fiction, memoir, non-fiction, novel, personal essay, poetry, and others. Workshop sessions meet once a week on a weekday evening at Inprint House, 1520 W. Main. Fall and winter/spring workshops meet for 10 weeks, summer workshops run for 8 weeks. Registrations are filled on a first come first serve basis, and are limited in number to provide an intimate, supportive, and accessible workshopping environment.
But right now I am just too busy. One of these days, though, I am going to get to one of them.

Trauman’s blog. He presented at Computers & Writing 2009. It’s a very interesting design.
