What an exciting moment. I realized that I will have my script performed on Sunday, March 25, 2018. While I consider myself a novelist, I took a shot at writing a drama for a stage production. It may not be the next great musical, but it is a great feeling to share my vision with others. The actors are amazing, and I have been lucky enough to work with them during the process. We have tweaked, and fine-tuned it as the months have passed and I feel like it will be a fantastic experience. I have learned a great deal about the process.
Life Begins After Coffee will be performed at 6:00pm on March 25, 2018, at Desert Christian Fellowship – 1445 W Northern Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85021
Synopsis:
A youth pastor and several of the young people from the youth group tell the story of the Resurrection over coffee with girl searching for something more. Sharing the truth of the love of Christ and a peek into the last hours of His sacrifice for all mankind.
The story behind the story.:
I shared on Monday about the loss of a dear friend. He was the youth minister at our church. This play was written in honor of him. Weaving things in that reminded me of him. It was healing. His daughter was involved in the process of writing the script and helping put the personal touches of her dad in the play. Writing is healing and not just for the author. This play has allowed many to remember fondly a man we all loved.
In loving memory of:

writing. Discover the times you are most productive. Keep track of the time of day and the situation you are writing. For me, I pump out the words like a madwoman in the midmorning while at my favorite breakfast place. Seriously, I can get done twice as many words when I am there than when I am sitting at home in my “writing space”. I found that out thanks to 
It is that simple. The people you love want you to be happy. Let them know you love them for it, and you are busy doing that thing they want for you. DO this every single day Sunday through Saturday. Do a writing exercise, a prompt, a journal entry it doesn’t matter what it is but if you don’t write you are not a writer.
A sign like this can work with younger children. If you explain when they see this paper up they will get cookies, or other forms of bribery, if they wait until you take it down to express themselves. It can be a game. Soon they will come to realize you will not engage with them while the sign is up, and hopefully, learn to leave you alone when they see the sign. (This works with chatty spouses as well.)
Once breakfast is taken care of we can get down to business…mom’s writing time. It consists of Dash sleeping curled up behind my back. This is actually working for her too. She helps to elevate the pain from my fibromyalgia by applying her body heat to my back, shoulders or whatever I need. She is very good at it. She often will know where to go without me even telling her. It may look like she is just snoozing away, well she is but it is okay because she is working too. It’s a tough job but she has trained hard for the rigorous work she puts in every day.
Next, we have the job of making sure mom doesn’t just sit in the chair. This is an even more important job and Dash uses every tool in her box (toybox that is) to get me moving. She is very good at it and if you could see our house you would know she is well equipt. She has more toys than my kids did growing up!
