As many of you know I fancy myself a writer. As much as I love it, it's a discipline fraught with rejection and frustration. Since 2007, I've been submitting various types of work to magazines, journals, festivals, etc. with no luck.
So you can imagine my excitement when not one, but TWO, of my short plays have been selected for full production in the last month.
I'll be receiving nothing but production stipends as a consultant to the director, so if you want to not qualify this as a first "professional" experience, that's fair. But damn does it feel good to finally be recognized.
EDIT: By the way, one of the plays was greatly helped by those of you who PM'd me with critiques. I can't thank you enough, really.
