The Slow End

[rm]

So I saw my short play today, and it sort of took me aback. I can write! There are things that need fixing, but the dialogue is really sharp and solid and oddly funny, which I hadn't known at the time. Also, so fun to see it cast with epopel I don't know and directed by someone I don't know. The guy looked like my high school prom date and the girl was asian. I liked being an angry Asian woman today. And it made all teh stuff about appearance in the piece really interesting. But mostly I felt vindicated that it was good, and that these people didn't look wrong to me, but rather even more right than the original people I cast it with, or, of course, the moment in my life it came out of.

I can't imagine the surrealness and the excitement behind watching a work of your own being portrayed on stage like that. A magical moment in life, that! Bravo!
