toldbyafoolIt's incredible just how many doors Lord Nicolas' patronage has already opened up for me. There are -- priests talking to me, I've gotten more people willing to listen to me when I prove that I have his sponsorship, I'm not getting nearly as many slammed doors as I was before. Literally or figuratively! I should -- I can't imagine I'll ever be able to get an audience with the King or the Prince about this, not even with Lord Nicolas backing me, but maybe I can find some of the servants? Or the High Priest for the Cathedral, maybe have him ... relay a message? Ask for a statement?
In any case I think that's something I'm going to have to do much farther down the line. I know it's much too raw for -- for her father or mother or brother. Dragons. I'm not quite that insensitive.
I miss the stage here, though. Stagehand work is fine, I know what I'm doing, it's a lot of hauling things around and helping with the cosmetics and stuff, but it's just ... different watching from the sidelines now that I've been back in Temair. They just have more passion for their work here. And no wonder, they have so many people coming to see them every day! I remember those crowds. I performed in an outdoor theater, one summer, for The Tempest, and all the benches would be packed. Packed! Compare that with the showing I got for Much Ado back in Temair ...
I wish I could stay here, sometimes.
But what a ridiculous line of thought that is! I made up my mind and now I've got to stick to it. Or at least, once I get more material to write this thing from ... Then I can go back home and get to work.
Even thinking about doing this still makes me a bit shaky. Me! A playwright! Sponsored by Lord Nicolas himself! I could never have dreamed of it.
