Listen To Your Mother - Update Only

I just received an e-mail from Listen To Your Mother. It was an "Audition Update Only." The four women organizers are going through the process of choosing the ones who will make it to the final cast. 

I should know by March 15th, if I'll be included or not.

I'm so glad to know the decision date, because I hadn't been sure before.

Now I can concentrate on other things.......

* LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER *

This afternoon I decided I would share my exciting news about being one of 30 women in the St. Louis area, chosen for a reading audition, for Listen to Your Mother.

Approximately 12 out of the 30 women will be chosen to read their true story in front of a live audience on Saturday, May 11.....the day before Mother's Day. 

My story is titled: Were Those Salad Tongs?  

I didn't want to mention it any sooner because I wanted to wait and see how it went today. Fortunately, it went well!

* I am friends with three of the other women who were also chosen to audition! Patt, Kim, & Linda. 

Patt, Kim, and I are also members of Saturday Writers!
