Erin Shields - Thought #7 - Crosspollination

Day 7:  Crosspollination Like most artists I know, I always have many projects on the go at the same time. As I move between them: from a project in rehearsal to a project in a first-draft reading to a project in a dream phase to another in research mode, I try to keep them separate. Inevitably, however, an idea or a line or a character will pop from one play into another, creating this strange sort of discourse between pieces which have nothing in common aside from the fact that I'm writing them simultaneously. I'm not sure whether I should resist this phenomenon or lean into it.
