Hullo, hullo! I apparently made a blunder with my first post...so I'll try again.

Hello, my name is Emily (chorus: Hiii, Emily!) and I'm a sometime schoolmarm (Theology, Music, Drama, Art - I've done it all), a theatre director (tons of it - esp. Shakespeare - I'm about to start Tempest in a few weeks, and just came off of As You Like It), playwright & author (see here).

I've got a lovely nephew and godson, Jamie, who's the light of my life at current. Thanks to the economy, I'm force perforce living la vie boheme, which mostly means barely making rent and working my tail off! (E.g., from Feb-April of 2011, every week was either tech/performance or the week before tech/performance which is just a mini-tech.) No one told me that being an impecunious artist would involve more work than a fully pensioned job!

Anywho, I've been writing oodles of plays, but have only recently gotten back into writing fiction. What's taken off has been the Regency Austenesque work, and I've finally buckled down enough that I'm attempting to make a "go" of it. Which means I'm still learning the ropes for self-promotion...so tips are much appreciated!

That's me - I'm looking forward to getting to know you!

Welcome. Nah, not a blunder; just a slight misunderstanding over what constitutes an introduction.

Your work sounds fascinating ... and yes, the "bohemian" life of an artist is a lot of work. Ha. Not only am I an artist (and not, oddly enough, a writer), but my brother is an actor in the Boston region, so maybe he's heard of you. What part of Massachusetts are you in?

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the 'forum jump' you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. After you post 50 posts you can use the SYW areas to get help there. The password for some of the areas is…..vista. A word to the wise, it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Welcome back Emily!

Speaking purely for myself I must say I thoroughly enjoyed reading your "blunder". It gave me something further to aspire to.

Normally I would make a light hearted jest but today I am burdened by restrain, unusually...

Always glad to see a fellow New Englander! We should talk!

Aw, thanks and thanks again! And why restraint? (Must be my natural gravity! :D)

Hello, friend! :D

Welcome Emily :)

~Amber~

And thanks to ALL for the warm welcome!

Amber - I love your word count ticker! I'm going to attempt NaNo again this year - I do every year, but I'm usually doing a play Just At The Same !($*@&#$ Time!

This year I'm doing Tempest and prepping for an unknown Feb/March/April four-hander...but I hope to see you around the NaNo board! You've quite inspired me!

(For those who are NaNo-ing, friend me there!)

Hello, Emily. Your work is very impressive. This isn't my real pic, but it's dang close. : )
