Abstract
I came to graduate school thinking all I needed to become a stronger writer was an understanding of craft and technique. To my dismay, I discovered that craft and technique, while helpful and important, are not magic bullets. Instead, I discovered that the main obstacle to my growth as a writer is my own self. This thesis discusses my battle with perfectionism and fear of the unknown in the context of writing my thesis play, Anatomy 101 (A Mysterium), and the subsequent production that occurred at The Global Campus Theatre in Fayetteville, AR in March of 2023.
