The final revision of my stage play, Goodbye Dolly, is now complete and will be submitted to Baker’s Plays for publication on my next trip to the post office. It’s a little unnerving, because it is both the largest and the most deserving project I have submitted for publication to date. And I have to wait six to eight months to hear back.
I’ve finally gotten word from my thesis director that my screenplay, while well-written and already good enough to qualify me for graduation, is currently not a marketable sample of my work. I knew that to a certain extent, and was expecting to do a number of rewrites, but it still depresses me that I sat on it for over two months while I was waiting for feedback and wasn’t able to see what the problem was myself. It is currently too “tepid”, which is apparently going to be the word/comment that I get hung up on. Unless it’s “oatmeal”, which is my own choice for describing its current status.
