I've been so busy with prepping for this show I haven't updated by blog! So let me take a moment and write down my lil update of what is going on for me, Malu Presents and Voices In Color.
I have a show booked for September 23rd in San Diego courtesy of Soul Kiss. I'm so thankful for these ladies, they have no idea. They've been so supportive and encouraging every time we've talked about the show. Those conversations fed me. I created this show being honest with myself, I am NOT a writer but I have a story to tell. When I thought about it, we ALL have a story to tell and here we are with another opportunity to share those stories.
When I was invited to do the show I jumped and immediately said YES! :)
Then I had to plan it out and a new reality set in. The venue is not at all made up for a stage play, I have no cast members, I don't have the same connections I had in the Bay Area which helped me in a tremendous way to pull it off. I was having serious doubts and then was reminded by a friend of how moved they were by the show. Then a few weeks ago a friend passed away who had always encouraged me to fulfill my creative self. Then last weekend a good friend gave me a beautiful journal with my name printed on it specifically to continue writing Voices In Color. My dedication was renewed by these instances. I needed to remember why I was doing this and how many of my loved ones supported me.
Today I've almost finished a new script (there were a lot of changes that had to be made to the script which caused more worry), cast 2 amazing women, completed 2 additional scripts and am ready (well almost). As I finish a 2nd draft of one of my scripts and I was very nervous to share it but my muse told me she really liked it, gave me a high five and said she was proud of me. Yup, that's the type of encouragement I needed to finish writing tonight!
Thank you to everyone who's continued supporting me. My gratitude is soaring above the clouds!
Peace, Kiki
