Winter Miller is a playwright, writer, activist, and Dramatists Guild Representative for New York City. Her plays include No One is Forgotten and In Darfur.
I really like her advice regarding an important aspect of playwriting:
“It’s important to breathe as you write. When you hold your breath, you hold back your feelings. Think about it—when you’re terrified, you hold your breath. But here, you need your breath, and you want to be able to have access to your emotions. Your breath is linked to your emotional state. In a word: breathe. In two words: keep breathing. In three words: Keep breathing, pal.”
