I haven't had much to write of late. I've finished the third draft of the play and have it out to my family and a few others to read and give me feedback. I'm quite anxious about it as I don't really think it works and I don't know what to do next. I think I need that feedback before I can move forward. If people think it is ready, I'm up for a reading and will be trying to pull people together in early June. That should help a lot. Hearing it read will help me to see what does and doesn't work. BUT, I'm terrified that it will be such a flop that I'll embarrass myself.
I never expected to be a playwright but felt that this was a story I wanted to explore and tell. It has ended up far different from what I had thought it might be. To be honest, it is a disappointment to me that I haven't found the way to make it a fully dramatic piece. I think it is a reading and I'm trying to accept that. My hope is that it will be successful as that. Still, I feel like I personally accomplished something and I don't want to belittle that.
Otherwise, waiting for the editors to respond to my article. That also has me anxious.
So... I'm anxious. I guess that should have been the title!
