On a random tangent, who do you (referring to anyone) plan on voting for in the upcoming election?

In my opinion at least, I think that such a title is quite evocative, and creates a strong mental image, although I am interpreting it very literally in my visualization. Still, I wouldn’t put it past you to have the title serve as more of a metaphor than a physical descriptor. Nonetheless, I am curious as to this play. I am not very good at critiquing things, or literary criticism, but I do enjoy reading and diving into the worlds of stories, but lack the skills to create such works myself, so I am quite curious as to what you have written.

Hello sir! I have been musing upon names for plays, and I think I hit upon one recently with good promise. Can I have a fellow writer’s take on the title “A Shadow Under the Ice”? I hope this isn’t too out of the blue – I just need someone’s opinion, and you seem like such an erudite fellow that I could not help but ask!

Wonderful blog Adam!
But I must say, you might want to consider talking to a mental health professional about your background and your father. Trust me, talking to someone, actually giving our troubles a voice, is good for the soul. Maybe Sandy could lend you an ear.
It also appears you have arsonphobia, which could become a bigger problem if not treated properly. I wouldn’t want you to have another outburst like the one on the subway. It kinda sounded like you almost lost control for a second.
This is just some friendly advice, please don’t think I’m trying to tell you how to live your life.

Ah, that’s too bad about your Twitter, but I get it. That character limit is tough!

And I agree with QXZenith. It would be great to read a sample of your play! I understand if you’re self conscious about sharing it, though. I’ve written a little myself, and it’s pretty nerve wracking, showing it to somebody else. But if you’re willing to put something out there, I’d love to read it.

I’d love it if you posted a sample, and I’m sure your other readers would, too!
I mean, nobody expects a first draft to be a masterpiece, but that’s the beauty of sharing it on your blog– we can let you know what we think, in a “safe space” kind of way, and everyone wins!

Looking forward to seeing your work,

Oh, I shut down my twitter account, though it was after no small amount of vacillation. I’m simply not one for pithy statements as such. I’m glad to hear this however. The two of you are my first commenters! And you say you are interested in my play, QXZenith? Do you think it would be wise to post a sample? I’m frightfully worried about my work, I don’t think it’s particularly good…

Hello. I just found this blog, and I’m impressed by your writing. It’s very eloquent, and I like the idea of seeing your play, if it ever gets produced!

You mentioned having a Twitter account in one entry, but I can’t find your Twitter username. Would you mind telling it to me? I think you’re worth following.

Hi! I just came to your blog, and– like Sandy– I’m really drawn to the way you express yourself.
I bet your play’s really something special– would you mind telling me (and your other readers) what the title is?
All the best,
