Hello, Brilliant and Beloved:

READ TAMMY MELODY GOMEZ' Daily Poem (365 poems in 2007) at:
http://xxcommunicator.blogspot.com

I have launched a new project for 2007, in the spirit of sweating my prayers (nod to Gabrielle Roth) and inspired by 2 of my creative influences, Jonas Mekas--filmmaker--and Suzan Lori-Parks--playwright.

Both Mekas and Parks are presenting this year--for free to the public--their original short films and plays, created like life, one day at a time.

Between November 2002 and November 2003, Pulitzer-winning Lori-Parks wrote her “365 Days / 365 Plays” as an exercise in exploring the writing process. Right this very moment, the plays are being produced LIVE, DAILY, in cities 'round the country. (Even a few theaters in Texas, mostly in Austin, are staging a week's worth of her plays.) So they were written in 02 and 03, and they're live onstage in 06 and 07. But--you can also read them online, one-a-day, at: http://www.tcg.org/publications/365/index.cfm.

Film-wise, Jonas Mekas launched his film-a-day creative endurance fest in autumn of 2006. They're shorts, not feature-lengths, of course. They are also available for online viewing here

AND--for your reading pleasure, I am posting DAILY POEMS on my blog at:
http://xxcommunicator.blogspot.com. One a day, like a vitamin, they are being written. Original and fresh, exemplary of my life's musings and everyday happ'nin's.

Lori-Parks summed up her philosophy this way: “The writer has two kinds of faith: actual writing and sitting openly. Have faith in your personal effort or sweat. And faith in God, or whatever you want to call it. Then the voices will come.”
