#WritersCoffeeClub May 22: How well would your current WIP work as a play?
Not very well. While nobody's throwing any fireballs in my books (I made a deliberate choice to preclude super-flashy items like that and lightning), there *is* a case of effectively levitation, and various use of magical portals. I'm not sure how those could be replicated on-stage. 1/3

More crucially, my book has *a lot* of specific locations, and doing justice to most of them on-stage would be prohibitively difficult. Sure, you can do a lot with minimal staging, but the whole point of this is to _immerse_ readers in San Francisco. Not just "San Francisco in general", but lots of *specific, individual* places, both indoor and outdoor. 2/3 #WritersCoffeeClub
