In less than a week, I will be a senior. Despite my general
demeanor, I have been dreading this birthday. I don’t really know why. It’s
just a number isn’t it? I was, earlier this year in a bit of ... in a deep
depression. Not my style. We had a great time on Maui. I have been work-shopping
more than usual . I love my little Zozo so much that her smile lifts me into
the sky. Margie is well. I am healthy. What
happened was that my Monologue book was rejected after more than a year of
teasing by Talon. I couldn’t write. I was stuck. I’m never stuck or depressed for very long. I decided, based
on some good advice from Rob Crowston, to build a new website. If you build it,
they will come. theatretogo.net has been a lifesaver. It has brought me a great
deal of credibility. I have
decided to self-publish M&M and it is now being carried by Biz Books. I have
increased my share of workshops this year. I will be workshopping for ABCDE at the provincial conference this fall. This is huge!!!!! It should mean gigs all over the province. And lots of book sales. Best of all, I am writing again. 35
minutes and counting for My new 50 minute play, "Homeless" (working title) which I plan to present at
Fringe 2011. I am going to a conference in NY and they will be presenting the first scene of”My
Music.” Right now, at 65, I am on top of my game.
