Dear blog, are you there? It's me, Alicia.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to make that pun.

I have my hands in three projects right now, which is exhilarating and challenging. I'm preparing for a monthlong Girls in Trouble duo tour, as well as some European shows in winter including our return to Limmud. I'm deep in the creative process (with requisite hair-pulling, 4 am bolting-awake, and moments of glee) for my performative song cycle about Bernie Madoff, currently working hard on the libretto thanks to a fantastic playwriting workshop with my sister-in-law Karen Hartman. (Playwriting! Who would have thought!) And I am still in the revision process for my first book of poems.

And working on other, supreme creative projects a little more out of my hands, which will be revealed soon.

Good thing it's fall, probably my favorite season for working. An overcast, drizzly day in Little Skip's, my neighborhood cafe, where the M train rattles by overhead like a reminder of technology and history all at once: the perfect place to write another page of libretto, confirm another show for tour, try another order for the book. Wish me luck.
