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.
