Correction

Ruthless was the wrong word to use (April 12). I am still not sure what the correct word is. When I said:

You want to use me, I use you…and I won’t play fair.

It was a confrontation. And that was the warning.

You want to use me? I’ll use you back so don’t even think of starting (or continuing any more)

is what I wanted to say…

Update

I haven’t blogged this month but I’ve written a short play. 10-15 minutes. The director and the writer I am working with both liked it. I am working on improving it. What I aspired to do most my life is becoming a reality – a small reality but a reality nonetheless.

When I finished the first draft, I knew there was still a lot to do before it can be finished but I had an immense satisfaction of having finished something…having thought of it from beginning to end and executed it…something I’ve created…something I will be able to share with not only those who read it but those who will come to see it played.

When I started writing it I was worried that it would be ‘too much like the real life’…I felt in order to write something interesting one had to create imaginary characters, life, events…my life or the lives of others I know wasn’t good enough. When I expressed this as a concern to the director he smiled and said ‘if it’s like real life, it will be a great success’. How true!

It’s only a short play. It’s only about something I know very well and lived over and over again. But it’s only my first attempt. Now that I know I can do this, I know I can do more.
