Well - I said goodbye to my critique group tonight.
It's only for a little while and then I'll be back tearing up the pages again. I can hear the sarcastic, "oh goodies" already.
Really hated parting from the group, and even though I think I'm Wonder Woman some days, I just can't do it all. This play is a real opportunity to reconnect to something I thought I'd probably never do again. It's feeling so great too!
Being away from home four nights in a row is just too much for me. The house is looking pretty garish right now too, but once again it will pass. At least I have Monday off of work for Columbus Day! Maybe I'll find some time to work on my lines - ya think?
Writing is also a deep part of my soul, but the well has been very dry in that regard. When singing disappeared for me, writing filled that empty place. I am the type of person that desperately needs a creative outlet.
My son even noticed something and voiced it last night. He observed that even though I'm kinda tired and sit around the house a little bit more when I'm home, he thought that I really seemed happy to be doing the play.
He's right, you know.
So to my writing buddies - I'll miss you alot over the next two months. Please continue to keep me included in your submissions so I can keep up on the stories you're writing for when I come back. If I find a Thursday when I'm a bundle of energy and just can't contain myself, I'll sneak into Borders and surprise you!
Otherwise I expect to see you one of the play production nights at my church.
Oh, and Brian - at least I have the decency to show up at my temporary break up fest. Was it that hard on you?
He'll understand. :-) Take care, y'all!

I hate goodbyes, even temporary ones. Plus this damned cold. So as a good-bye gift, I'm mailing you a box of used Kleenex art that I created with my infected sinuses. Each looks like a bright radioactive yellow Rorschach image. Guess what each one is, there will be a prize if you guess it.
Enjoy and we will miss you. Okay, they will miss you, I'm going to get some serious work done without you arguing with me. Weee.

Okay - all I can say is EEEEEWWWWW! Performances are December 5th and 6th at 7:00 so I expect to see you in person for your apology one of those two nights.
um . . . it's at a church, right?
You know what happened the last time I stepped into one of those things.
And the 7th is my birthday, which means the 5,6, and 7th I will be notably intoxicated.
