Warren has left Canada. He is off to Italy for three weeks and I am going to miss him terribly. It's been the most amazing experience to have this virtual stranger — someone I knew for three fabulous weeks a year ago — walk into my life and become an intimate friend. He came here at 9:00 am on May 22nd and a month later, with six-to-fourteen hour days on my part and who knows how many hours of his time — we have a baby: our screenplay for Uncle Gus' Monkey.
We are planning on a few more sessions together via Skype while he's in Italy at the end of this week. Then on the weekend, I put the application package for Praxis together and next Monday, it goes into the competition.
The huge jump I have made from technical writing to creative writing has brought me an unparalleled sense of pride and satisfaction and there are two people to thank for that: Dwight and Warren. They have gifted me with the remarkable impact of confidence in me.
