This morning, I received the best incentive to keep writing. Playwrights Canada Press sent my author copy of a play anthology, Love and RelAsianships: Volume 1. My play Maggie's Last Dance is part of a two-volume collection of plays by Asian Canadian playwrights.
What thrills me the most is that Maggie's Last Dance has nothing to do with my Chinese heritage. It's just a fun play about six people who attend their high school reunion and flashback to who they were in high school. It's a funny play by a Chinese-Canadian guy, and I'm thrilled that the editor chose my play without layering any socio-political agenda on it. I think the play represented my sensibilities in the mid-90s, and I'm thrilled that it was recognized. Yay!
