I hope this post finds you well and finding ways to stay cool and productive. This heat has been relentless! My recovery continues slowly but surely. When I move too fast or do too much, my body shuts me down with sharp painful reminder: I’m not in charge. I love how the body reminds us to stop and to rest.

That said, I’m hoping to see my play SIX DIRTY WORDS this weekend as part of the Decameron Project at Whitefire Theatre in Sherman Oaks. Fingers crossed that I’m up for the outing!

More good news: PlayPenn has invited me to teach two sections of Writing to Win, Place, or Show this fall, beginning in October. Classes will meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 6–9 p.m. Eastern / 3–6 p.m. Pacific. If you’re interested, please sign up—and please help spread the word to anyone who might be interested.

You can tell we’re heading back into fall, and fall means “business.” LOL. I found a lot of opportunities for you.

As always, if you find success through one of these opportunities, please share it with us. Your wins give the rest of us something to celebrate—and sometimes a little inspiration to keep going.

The world feels darker with the heartbreaking losses of Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Yayoi Kusama this month. All three brought us so much joy and light. Their work remains, and so does ours.

Thank you to all of you for being here and being part of this community. And a special shoutout to my paid subscribers, whose support helps make these posts possible and keeps these opportunities coming your way. I’m truly grateful.

Shine on,

Lucy

I’m sending this mid-month motivation post a little earlier than usual because my surgery has been moved up to August 10th — EEK! I also came across some terrific opportunities that I wanted to get into your hands before then.

As always, I do my best to feature opportunities (except for artist residencies) that don’t charge an entry fee. This time, I’ve made a few exceptions: the O’Neill, because it’s one of the most prestigious play development programs in the country; Seven Devils Conference, because I’ve heard great things; and Inkubator, because it includes a stipend and an eight-month development process. The application fees are $15 for the O’Neill and Inkubator, and $13 for Seven Devils.

A reminder that these mid-month motivation posts are a bonus for my paid subscribers, in addition to the free monthly Writing to Win, Place, or Show newsletter. Another perk of being a paid subscriber: you’ll often get a first look at opportunities before they appear in the free monthly newsletter. These posts are my way of saying thank you for supporting this community—and for supporting the time it takes to research and curate these opportunities.

Thank you, as always, for being here. And if you’re so inclined, I’d be grateful for your positive thoughts and healthy vibes as I head into surgery.

Shine on,

Lucy

It’s official. After 20 years of serving on the board of 2 community gardens, I burned out. I want to focus more time and energy on my writing, before it’s too late. Life moves quickly. I’ve lost more friends lately, and I find myself returning again and again to Mary Oliver question from The Summer Day.

Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

The good news: creative seeds are still blooming.

I’m thrilled to share that my monologue Down There was selected for the Social Justice Shorts Festival in St. Louis, MO (June 5–7), a collaboration between Bread and Roses Theater MO and A Call to Conscience Interactive Theater for Social Change. I’m especially grateful to have this piece included in a festival dedicated to work that sparks dialogue, empathy, and change.

Tickets are now on sale:

If you’re able to attend, please let me know what you thought. The lineup looks fantastic, and I wish I could see every piece myself.

As always, I welcome your success stories.
