Distracted

I'm supposed to be cycling through my manuscript for the kids' book this week, but theatre has been distracting me. I have to get ready for a pitch meeting, which means I have to flesh out three to five decent ideas. It's fun work to brainstorm, but hard to figure out which idea to sell hard. I'll figure it out by the end of the week.

I'm also having trouble focussing, because I'm distracted by what is going on at the Edinburgh Fringe. The producer of The Bone House has sent periodic updates, but I want a blow-by-blow account of what is happening every day. To that end, I've been searching the web for any reviews of the show. Sure enough, I found a great one. Here's the review from a cool website. I've also heard that the publication, Three Weeks, has given the show 5 out of 5 stars, but I haven't found that review online. I'm living the Fringe vicariously and wishing that I had actually found the cash to go to Edinburgh.

Oh, and the final bit of distracting and good news is that one of my kids' plays, Fi Jee and the Two Moons, is going to be part of a published anthology of Sprouts plays. Sprouts is a festival of cultural plays for kids that has been running in Edmonton for several years. Concrete Theatre is the producer of the festival and the driving force behind the anthology. They had many plays to choose from and I'm thrilled they included mine. Yay!

Anyway, I'm headed off to work on my pitches.
