Spoiler Alert

     If you have not already heard, Sweet Beth ( also called That's What Friends Are For, depending on my mood)was not picked up by The Tisch Group for Meryl Streep, so I will not be the hit of the month come next July.  One who knows told me that my script was a lot funnier than the Meryl Streep comedy presently in the theaters, and I choose to believe that. But Beth is still with us and will be revisiting the Women in Film who liked it last fall, so we'll see.
     When my husband called today (he's out of town, visiting his mother) to say he saw the news about the screenplay on Facebook, I have to admit I was sort of taken aback.  People read that? Social media has never been my forte, to say the least. I guess I neglected to tell him, so many other things happened that day. This is not nearly as bad as the incident a couple of years ago when my son's dog died. (This will not be a recurring theme in this blog. ) Anyway, he was not living at home and I hadn't yet told him, so he learned it from Facebook. Very bad mothering.
     The little multicolored wheel keeps spinning around on my screen and the computer is sending me terse messages (This probably will be a recurring theme.  Computers do not like me.) So, soon, back to my perilous year as a screenwriter.  It may not be destined for the screen right now, but that doesn't  mean there isn't more to tell.
