Play accepted!

My 10-minute play will be performed in the festival. Yay!

Reprieve

Editor says I still have time to get a story in. Still don't have a character, idea, or line.

10-minute play sent in. Director believes it has a good chance of being accepted. By Wednesday, I'll know. Took a techniques class with Robert Boswell and one thing I learned is how important the words are that characters speak. An assignment had us write a story and then condense it by choosing certain lines of narrative. We could use only one line of dialogue so you had to choose wisely. Has helped with with the two short plays I've written. Want to revise the other now but I need to do research and I already have a pile of articles and two theses to read for the novel.

Two other contests I'm hoping to enter. We'll see.

Did not get my contest entry in. Lost two days in late January to illness.

The play is good though. Have all the dialogue down. Need to go back, format and add stage directions. It's due in a few days as is a story I agreed to write for a publication and I haven't begun it. Don't even have a character😳

Am also judging a contest, the second this year, and next week I am a juror for another contest. I will not be sleeping for awhile.

My story was picked as story of the week.


Way cool.

Onward

Got the grant application in.

Have a friend who acts and directs. Community theatre is taking plays. I have a 10- minute one I'm going to revise, and if it gets accepted, she's going to direct it.  But first she's gonna read it and offer any needed suggestions. That's this weekend.

Then there's a contest I'm aiming for on the 7th.
