About Me

Writing is where it all begins. There is nothing to design, stage or perform without the script. Courage to all aspiring authors! The more you write, the more you will improve. And enter contests. Why? you say, trembling and hovering above your keyboard. Ahem. It forces you to work with deadlines and prescribed formats, which are a good thing. You learn how to network, even if a little. Plus, you might actually win. And then you might become a professional writer and get to do the thing you love and quit selling unhappy meals.

My Interests

You want to enter the first ever ten-minute playwriting competition here in Beaumont, Texas. It is co-sponsored by Take a Bow, The Art Studio, Inc. and the Southeast Texas Council for the Arts. Watch our blogs for rules and regs.

Music:

Movies:

Coen Brothers, Scorsese, and too many individual films to list

Television:

BBC comedies and dramas; Showtime Tudors series and Weeds, Tracey Ullman

Books:

biographies, historical novels, mysteries

Heroes:

Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams, Faulkner, Tom Stoppard, and my goodness, but this is going to take all day
