Emily R Davis - Songs for the Struggling Artist

How many milestones can I cross this year? A lot so far!!

One month ago to the day, I wrote this in the airport as I waited to board a plane to Los Angeles.

The odds of a young man winning an Oscar are not nearly as good as a young woman winning an Oscar. And her odds go up if she plays a sex worker.

Guys. Guys. What a great pitch for this new show about Bauhaus - innovative approach - absolutely original!

A week ago tonight, I got a big surprise!

Special request to my ladies: Sign your artwork! For the women who come after us, at the very least.

I overheard two artists talking about their Medusa project in a cafe and I got unreasonably mad about it.

I accidentally stumbled on the Tenth Anniversary of my podcast! Some thoughts after ten years of this.

Okay, you got me, I wrote this four months ago. I thought about sitting on it another eight months so it would be timely again but...it's not so much about the date as it is the art.

The GPS pronounced Queens in the most confusing and hilarious way. And it gave me a lot to think about.

Maybe Chalamet's dumb comments are already last week's news but when I wrote this down on paper, it was a fresh take, I promise you! #ballet #opera

A memorable moment in a clown class long ago continues to speak to me. It's about women, attention and seeking it.

I try to have compassion for those that got us into this political mess but I find it very challenging. Thinking about them this way somehow helps.

When I found myself stalling, I realized I needed to find a method for preparing to edit, just like I have one for writing. Uncovering our creative processes is a lifelong practice. #CreativeProcess

Believe it or not, clowns really care about lineage. And this guy sits at the top of the heap. I never studied with him but I did learn a lot from his teaching!

I know it seems like I'm talking about current events here. But I wrote this in December. Not that there weren't a lot of ENAs running around then, too. It's all evergreen.

I assume I'm not in the Epstein files. I haven't checked. But I'm not too many degrees from people who are! #theatre
