My essay "From Almost Famous ... to the Cutting-Room Floor" is featured today on the WOW! Women On Writing Blog as part of their "Friday Speak Out!" series. I am very honored and thrilled. Here is a little teaser:

“Why are you here, dear?” asked the Versace-dressed woman beside me in the center-aisle VIP second-row seats.
I tried, but failed, to hide my smile. “I’m in The Movie,” I said, excitement overwhelming any small dose of humility I possessed.

Thanks, Jana! It's a real-life essay, and it wasn't much of a "movie" ... that's part of what made it a funny/embarrassing experience. I was just getting ready to send you an e-mail. Check your inbox soon! :)
