What happens in Pittsburgh

Now it's Golamco's turn to blog about the CMU Dramatic Writing program: I spent last weekend in Pittsburgh. Until last Friday, everything I knew about Pittsburgh came from the movie Wonder Boys and from the Fallout 3 DLC titled The Pitt. So in my mind, Pittsburgh was full of super mutants and guys named Vernon Hardapple. Read the whole thing.

What you win or don't win.

I'm counting on you to read Golamco's blog, because it's full of wisdom: http://www.michaelgolamco.com/2011-01-16-fire-and-forget

I go through a lot of Swiffer pads when I’m writing a lot.

Golamco on mini-Babybels, the hopeless inadequacy of earbuds, and why he would make a good astronaut.

The new needs friends.

I urge you to read screenwriter/playwright Michael Golamco on "When I Really Like Something, There are Two Things I Need to Do." (Also starring Mickey Mouse.)

The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Playwright

Here's a belated link to Michael Golamco's June 11 guest blog for The New York Times, which relates his work to burritos, pork buns, and video games. Michael was a guest in the professional advancement roundtable I assembled at New Dramatists last month for the CMU Dramatic Writing class of 2010.
