MORE ABOUT ME
I overcome the  disappointment of rejection in a number of ways.
    A few years ago I got a rejection, which stung. I don’t even remember what it was for. I decided to submit anything anywhere, just to make myself feel like it wouldn’t stop me, that I could keep going. Much to my delight, the play I submitted as my therapy, got accepted to a festival.
    Another thing that has sustained me is being part of a cooperative, Polaris North. I bring work into the playwrights workshop, which helps me focus on the craft, not on outward recognition.
    I also have been writing plays for the 365 Women a Year Project. Every year I have at least one historical woman to write about, and often several monologues. I have research to do, writing, rewriting, and deadlines. As a result, I rarely feel like I don’t know what to write about next.
    Finally I have a meditation practice, which reminds me to be humble, compassionate and search for truth. I write to express the world as I see it, not to be obsessed with ego gratification.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
I'm revising a play on Rita Levi Montalcini, and starting one on Vitka Kempner Kovner
