2011

2011 has been a banner year for me, creatively. I made 4 movies last year: Survived by... (written and produced), Never Gonna Let You Die (produced), Sticking Points (written) and Demon Unbound (co-written, produced, voice-over intro). I signed with Blue Feather who will publish my second novel, Clandestine, in 2012. I was a scriptie on a Doritos commercial hopeful and a non-speaking actor on a local commercial for a theater company which should be out early in 2012. I began working on a feature screenplay with a very talented young man which will also be completed and hopefully filmed next year. We reached our goal with the help of some very generous donors and will be able to get Survived by... into several film festivals next year.

I was featured in an article in the Columbus Dispatch regarding the women's clinic of the local VA. I was invited to speak at the Dallas Jewel Lesbian Book Club. I was inducted into the Royal Academy of Bards Hall of Fame. I am making connections in the local film community that will only make the creative endeavors more plentiful.

We got a cat - unexpectedly - this year. I've missed having a cat and, thankfully, she's an affectionate (albeit chatty) little thing. Liam's health seems great and we are fortunate to still have Nikki.

I've had some health issues but nothing that's killed me. Yet. :-D

But the best thing that happened in 2011 is that a baby was born into the family. My grandniece, Kady.

Life goes on.

Out with the old, in with the new.
