I’ve got all
day to myself to work on the defiant dress (#10) and the script.
I’m really
pleased with the revisions I’ve done to the first scene. Dwight’s critiquing it
nowI’ve been so energized by Rachel’s interest. Yes. I’ll definitely be disappointed
if the Arts Club says No but I’ll
still be ahead if they do —I know the concept has merit now and I can pitch to
other theatres.
I have another
two weeks to work on it and then, with luck, Colin will read it. He’s calling
this week to tell me if he can fit me in. If he can, I’ll ask him for feedback
by the 15th so I’ll have four days to do re-writes before the Arts Club deadline (June 19th).
Unfortunately I
had a pretty bad episode waiting for Dwight before lunch yesterday. I oozed
outside and held onto a tree; it was really hard to endure and then, just as
Dwight arrived, a man came out of the restaurant with a chair for me. I’m
constantly moved by the kindness of strangers since becoming sick.
I relaxed last
night after writing all day by starting to carve another phrase into the
defiant dress. This time: मैं औरत हूँ।. And no, I’m not telling you what it says — at least not yet. It’s in
Hindi but I’m not explaining about that yet either. You’ll have to see the
play.
I’m going to
win this Arts Club opportunity. I
feel it in my gut as vividly as I felt I wouldn’t with Boca. Of course I could be wrong, but I knew my project wasn’t
earnest enough for Boca; the Arts Club likes light fare.

I wrote a big
long email to ill buddy Bruce. His sister will read it to him; she invited
friends to write. It felt so good; it felt like we were actually communicating.

I had a lung
test today and Bruce, the physician who administers the tests was very clearly
and movingly impressed with my results — given that I use a vaporizer and have
asthma, the results were a wonderful welcome surprise.
