Writing Pursuits

Our Fort Wayne Civic Theater is having a play writing contest. The deadline for submissions is September 1, 2009. I have been working on a play, and plan to submit it. I have no expectations, but I am aware that if it is accepted, it will be performed on stage. This would mean a great deal to me. I have been working hard to perfect it, and I am somewhat happy with the results. An author is never without scrutiny. I will have it proofed by my writing professor. This is my first attempt at writing a full length play. If it isn't accepted, I will simply learn from the rejection. I must get used to rejection in this business.
Another writing project has paid off. I did an interview with my mother. I addressed how mental illness affects the family. A newspaper, called Senior Life, may be publishing it. This means a great deal to me. I have always known that God wanted to use my illness and my mother's illness for His glory. I plan to write plenty about my struggles with mental illness, and I plan to crush Satan under my feet in the process.

Keep my writing ventures in your prayers!
