Making My Way…

April 21st, 2009

“A wise {wo}man will make more opportunities than {s}he finds.” -Bacon

I grew up in an entrepreneurial family. My parents must have gone through more businesses than I can remember… some even well before I was born.

I heard the stories about my dad’s furniture making business, and the cafe/frozen yogurt place my parents owned. They had a clothing company, did real estate…

And just as they say a writer needs to “write what she knows”, this writer also needs to work how she knows.

For years, I’ve spent so much time sending my work around, hoping someone will just “give me my big break”… but I see (and maybe have known for a while) that it won’t work that way.

(It sounds like a lot of off-Broadway non-profit houses wish someone would cut them a break right now… Despite packed houses, many are suffering from donations drying up.)

I have the products, now I need to produce my works. And soon, I will attract the attention of bigger fish who can help me mount bigger productions.
