Here we are in the first year of a new decade, and I welcome it with open arms! Last year was so fantastic for me creatively that I'm giddy with excitement to see what 2020 will bring. My goal to finish the first draft of Someone Like Them by the end of 2019 was achieved. I finished the final draft on December 31st, New Years Eve. While other people were partying fervently, I was writing feverishly. Such is the life of a writer. It's not all wine and roses.
I look forward to going through Someone Like Them again, to fine tune it. I like my character, Wanda Carson. She is a 50 year old grandmother who she is living a dream that can only be imagined by others. Unfortunately, she discovers that all that glitters is not gold.
Someone Like Them should be released by this fall, if not sooner. Meanwhile, I'm also working on a new Two Act play. My latest One Act Play, 1200 Miles from Jerome, which won the 2020 Women Playwrights Initiative, sponsored by the Ivoryton Playhouse in Connecticut, will enjoy a staged reading early this year. I'm also writing another mystery novel with L. Barnett Evans, my talented co-author of the Grandmothers, Incorporated cozy mystery series. It looks like 2020 will be as creatively satisfying as 2019. I sure hope so. Meanwhile, Happy New Year!
