But then again, you know, junk food tends to be cheaper, and I don’t want to exceed the church budget. Gloria: Well, you know, some people might be offended if we didn’t offer something healthy, seeing how everyone’s on some kind of sugar-free, gluten-free, food-free diet these days. Paul: Um…I don’t think it matters much, Gloria. You think we should go full on junk food, with chips and all, or should we try to include something healthy, like a salad?

By October 3rd, I’d written more than 20,000 words in just over two weeks, and at that point I had no more words inside me-and the following week I was out of the office. This is why my weekly blog post has not been weekly this month (i.e., has not appeared at all-yikes). I recently finished writing not one but two new plays.
