into feisty life

with thoughtful feedback from editors

i have new concepts of what to omit and

what more to include in Freddy’s Wake

so, i am again deep into murmuring

dialogue to myself as i wake up

bringing the characters to feisty life

within myself before i can put

their words onto paper

before we will see them on stage

stages of loneliness

thrilled to have my stage play admired

by one of the best playwrights

and scriptwriting teachers in the country

we will be meeting to talk it over

for ideas to expand it to a full-length

production and cut down the cast

to manageable size but the dialogue

and the characters are “strong”

and i glow in praise i seldom hear

writing is such a lonely calling
