Laura, your tags touch my heart and I just know your themes touch many many hearts. Also I know that you are an award-winning playwright. Did you know that Fringe of Marin Festival accepts new submissions every year? 15-minute plays. Contact Annette Lust, Creative Director, through http://www.fringeofmarin.com/contactus.html and ask her what their submission guidelines are this year. I look forward to seeing you soon. Will you be at April 15 meeting ? http://redwoodwriters.org/
Wishing you joy and light!

http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/programs-for-writers-june-10-17-2017-june-11-mini-conference-literary-stage-at-san-mateo-county-fair-california-writers-club/
Here are my tags.
inspirational. uplifting, affirmations, positive thought, self help
Hi Coach Teresa, I didn’t know the tag words had to actually be in the blog!
I will have to work them in, or else delete them as tags, and find others. For example, I have (tag) The Berkeley Girl, but not Berkeley and Girl, separately. And I have 1968, but “60s” is what I use most often. Big revelation!
My current tags: 1968, Paris, London, activism, feminism (feminist is there!), historical fiction, literature, The Berkeley Girl, writing process.
I’m done for today! Elise Frances Miller
