Some days you just have to smile...

I've written before about how playwrighting can be a numbers game - each "Yes" usually requires experiencing dozens of "No"s. They're never fun (even when you knew it was a long shot you still hope), but it's just part of the game. Fellow PlaywrightBinge member Jack Dyville wrote recently of receiving 5 rejections in one day. Claudia Haas replied that she had once received 3 rejections in one day, at which point she turned off the computer (very wise). All this to say that when you do get a "Yes," it's something to savor. Which makes today very much worth savoring and I learned that Heuer Publishing has accepted not one, but two of my plays! (The Tiger, the Brahman, and the Jackal and Eponine) It's always exciting to place a play with a publisher and know that through it the play will find a greater reach, but two in one day... well that's something to smile about. :D

Savor. Because it is so grand when it all works.

Whoo hooo!!!! I'm so proud of you! I'm really glad that Brahman found a new home.
