Dear Sunday Letter friends,

This past week, I spent most of my time working on behind-the-scenes things associated with writing. (This means I don’t have much to show for my time…)

No idea what I’m talking about? Well, I wrote my first play, and it will be performed soon in Eureka Springs as part of Five & Dime Drama Collective’s Fall Performance Series.
