Folks, I did warn You this was going to be a slow-motion kind of project!
I'm getting better at what's needed to apply for a grant, but any kind of advice from anyone out there who's done it before me at least once would be highly appreciated!
I've realised that writing the script was nothing compared to what's going on right now, to what I need to study understand and learn so that the play can be produced, people paid and I can keep my promise to support a local project... Does it sound too ambitious?
Do You think I'm scared? Well, I've also realised that my comfort zone is well behind me and it's quite challenging to say that, at this point, there's no turning back. But the dream of seeing something I wrote taking shape through the talent of other people is something that belongs to the very core of my Being, is so entrenched in me that I cannot see myself doing anything else in the future...
I've had many roles in my life: a full-time mother, a nurse, a teacher, a first aider, a full-time worker, a secretary, a financial adviser, a time and space organiser, a decorator, an interior designer, a mechanic (!)... I just feel it's time to re-invent myself and allow creativity to flow the way it was always meant to!
Many celebrities have re-invented their social and personal role: Sir Anthony Hopkins is now composing classical music, Jonny Depp is becoming a publishing editor, Madonna wrote children books for a while, Berlusconi will enter a prison soon.... Ooops, sorry... You're right, I also said no politics in this blog... sorry!
I know, You're thinking that I'm not a celebrity - and I have no intention of becoming one as well, but... why not me, why can't I re-invent my life and give it the direction it should have taken in the first instance?
We shall see...
