I’m having a blast with my latest dabble in posting writing prompts (see writing prompt #3). And whether you consider yourself family, friend, fellow creative or simply support my rambling and rhetoric—thank you, by the way—I encourage any and all to play along. What better way to take a break from the competing news media, weather updates and cat videos? I’m kidding, of course, because there’s no such thing as too many cat videos. But I digress. This month, I’m focusing on the topic of Broadway musicals. As a refresher, musical theater is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting and dance. Popular musicals include Grease, The Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Aladdin, Cats and Hamilton—among countless others. A favorite of mine, Little Shop of Horrors, happened to be presented by an outstanding all-youth cast.
A new Broadway musical is about your life. Come up with a title for the big show, and write a mini-review in 25 words or less.

Midlife Coming of Age The Musical
Middle-aged, menopausal aspiring novelist embarks on a captivating, comedic and cleansing eat-pray-love journey through the Southwest desert. Reminiscent of Elizabeth Gilbert in her best-selling novel.

That will be tough.
However, do love Broadway Musicals. I am a bookworm as well as a massive musical fan.

I love it! Thanks for chiming in: you might end up surprising yourself if you imagine your own life as a musical 😉 Either way, bookworms and musical lovers unite!

However, one of my book ideas takes place in NYC- it is about six orphans, who eventually go on a scavenger hunt. The places they visit are some of the well-known places in the city.

That sounds like a fun idea to explore, especially as a middle grade book!

Well, my major characters are middle grade. All six orphans age up in the story- they are Aurora, Jasmine, Rosie, Mollie, Emily, and Paige. Aurora and Jasmine are the main characters- they are fraternal twins, and so far they are the ones I know the most

I can’t wait to read it! Or maybe watch it as a musical 😉

I enjoyed reading about your characters, and also learned that you also like hiking. It’s my “church” of sorts, my favorite place to seek clarity and to spend time communing with the Lord and His creation.

I loved meeting my characters- the hardest characters I am struggling to develop are my Greatest Discovery characters.
My love for hiking is part of why I am a mountain person
