Trying to go from being a playwright to a novelist is like getting all your actor friends together to read audio, calling in a favor to a friend with a cool website and getting him to serialize your novel, learning how to tweet to everyone from Hustler to GleekDaily while trying not to alienate several real friends in the process, and posting comments on other playwrights' blogs in hopes of mutual back-scratching. Actually, that's not what it's like. That's what it is. The Exonerated's Erik Jensen and Jessica blank read this week's chapter of Jim Knable's serial novel SONS OF DIONYSUS.
