Life gets in the way – or why I haven’t written in 8 months
So I haven’t written for a hot second – at least that’s what I’m calling the last eight months – and I hate that work + life has gotten in the way! It coincided with starting improv classes at Second City, which also had me auditioning for an ensemble and…
