First Aid Kit for the Soul show

It went really, really well. Every loved it and said it had just the right mix of laughs and tears, and that our production was really slick. I arranged it so that ensemble pieces were mixed with solo ones, and light and shade pieces went back to back.

And I sold lots of copies of the book and got an invite to go along to a poetry pamphlet sale.

I've posted the bit out of the local paper here. On the strength of it a freelance journalist called me this morning and interviewed me down the line. She going to pitch a story to the nationals and womens' magazines. It may all come to nothing, so I'm not building any hopes up there. But I emailed her the text of the full book.

I'm just glad the show is over, I've been eating and sleeping it for three months now. Cancer Research sent a rep along, she said, "you'll need to do another, bigger one next year," No way! It's just too draining. But I'm pleased I pulled it off cos I think a lot of people thought I must be mad to try.
