Exciting to see my play!

Last night I went to see my play performed by our local community theatre group. It is supposed to be funny, so I sat there nervously hoping the audience would laugh. It's so strange to be watching something you're so familiar with.

Well, the audience did laugh, thankfully, and showed their applause. I was so excited about it I've decided to write more plays. I didn't get paid for this, but it didn't really matter. This kind of joy and satisfaction is payment enough.

Good for you.

It's Great, Isn't It?

I don't consider myself an aspiring playwright, so the one play I had produced is probably it, for me.

But man, don't you love it when they chuckle, laugh, or gasp, and clap at the end? I can see why actors would prefer the stage to the screen, large or small. When it goes well, the audience is about all the pumping up a normal-sized ego can take!

If you've got another play, or a dozen, in you, I can certainly see why you'd want to do it again. Congratulations!

Maryn, who may never again be applauded except presenting the cake at birthday parties (which is fine by me)

CONGRADULATIONS !!!

I look forward to when I can feel that experience. I hope this is the beginning of successful play writing for you.
