Writer – Playwright – Cannot Save You From The Robot Apocalypse

I don’t know what to write again, which happens from time to time, but I’m not ready to skip a week of blog posts yet. So that means the only thing to do is to have another “A Week in the Life of Sarah” posts, or more simply a new “What’s Going On?” update.

This weekend was the HamilTEN Festival in my city. It’s a festival I’ve talked about a bit on here because my ten minute play A Spell for Schoolgirls was accepted into it and I was super pumped/anxious for it.

(First, HI CHANTAL!) Alright, now let’s start Sarah’s regularly scheduled blog post! As I mentioned in last week’s post, I watched A Quiet Place and loved it.

I don’t know what to write today. I’m tired and I’m not sure why because I didn’t do too much today, maybe all the rain from the past few days has drained me. Maybe it’s because my dad was hosting a book club and I helped and it was loud, or maybe because all this …

Surprisingly, I’ve seen a lot of the Oscar-nominated movies this year. Usually I’m lucky if I can even recognize one of the titles, let alone watching it. Unless it’s that year’s Disney nominated animated feature, I probably haven’t seen it. But for some reason I have and the one theme I’ve noticed from the movies …

I used to hate Valentine’s Day, and I still don’t particularly enjoy it. It’s just such an incredibly commercialized holiday that people put so much emphasis on. ,But maybe I just feel this way because I’ve never actually celebrated it with someone, or because I’ve never been in a relationship.
