Open Wardrobes

I am at the moment taking care of a few odds and ends as a writer which deal mostly with the less-than-thrilling marketing side of things. Earlier this week I submitted The Last Anniversary, my new 10-minute play, to both Lakeshore Players and the National 10-Minute Play Contest. I'm crossing my fingers for Lakeshore and it would be wonderful to have it done where I know people and where I can easily go to see it. I am continuing to keep an eye on places to send The Princess and the Moon, and today am sending it off to the Panowski Playwriting Competition. That may be a bit of a longshot (they say no restriction in genre, but sometimes you have to wonder how interested non-children's theater contests are in children's theater). I just noticed this one recently, so I'm in a bit of a rush today to put everything together so that it will arrive by Friday! Lastly, Tim Goddard has started a new blog for Goddard Publishing, whose offerings include my novel Edelsha (have you bought your copy yet?), and Tim has asked that I participate in that blog as well. Tim and my wife Kelly are also both participating in National Novel Writing Month (affectionately known as NaNoWriMo) while I look on with a tinge of jealousy that I can't participate this year. (Acting in a show, writing a play, taking intermediate Chinese, working full time... trying to write a novel in a month on top of that just might kill me.)


So other than that, still waiting for reponses to my Princess queries (one polite "No thanks" so far, but that was from a longshot: the Children's Theatre in Minneapolis), plus I have a few submissions out to publishers. Now I should probably start looking at my lines...
