'George the Good'. Stage play for children to perform. Scouts. Role models. Genius.

Oh my, that was such hard work! 'George the Good' is finally finished; not the novel I began, but a stage play for children/a mixed cast to perform. Around one hour long in performance terms, every last ounce has had to squeezed out, like one of those tubes of rich handcream with a teeny, tiny hole in the top, that has to be squeeeeeeeezed hard to produce anything. If only I could plan; write a preliminary synopsis; better still, have working titles for scenes; but no. It all has to be painfully squeeeeeezed out. I envy writers who can painlessly tip a whole story out of their fingertips onto the computer - or even to carry the whole caboosh in their noddles. If it's accepted for publication, I'll post the link to the website, where it can be read for free. Payment is only needed if it's downloaded or licensed for performance.

Thomas Edison, the inventor and businessman famously quoted, 'Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration' stressing that innovation involves more than just great ideas - which I shall clutch to my chest as a mantra!
