I play guitar. I play acoustic. My father recovered from a heart attack recently. I once was in the PTA. I have a kid who is older now. I make movies. I am a director. I am making a documentary about the life and tribulation of LGBT athletes.  My latest movie is almost done. I am a lesbian. I feel as a film maker I have a duty to help other LGBT people. I won an award at Sundance for a small scale film about women facing sexism at work . I was very proud of the award. I have worked a little in the thriller and suspense movie genre. I am not good at writing suspense, but learning.
I have three kids. I play/or have kids that play soccer. I lost a good friend. I'm in book clubs and the PTA. My book club is not currently reading anything, it is on a break. I do not discriminate against LGBT people.
I decided to take a creative writing class online to help me out with the suspense writing.  Good for you! I am impressed how driven you are. Thanks! I'm trying. But for now I'm focusing more on the documentary I had mentioned to you. I've been meaning to ask you ... since you play soccer, do you know any LGBT athletes I could interview? There is one person in my reading group that would most likely love to talk with you. Very smart with a big appreciation for the arts, but I am not sure if this person plays in a lot of group sports. I am assuming that matters? I'd love to talk to them regardless! This documentary is about athletes, but I could always use their input and experiences in other stuff. Speaking of the reading group ... any idea when they plan to start back up? We are hoping to start up soon, likely in a couple of weeks. The moderator recently had surgery, so we are waiting until she feels better to start the group up again. You should come to the next meeting, we have been wanting to read a suspense novel, but nobody know of a good one. I will give this person you contact information.  Ok sounds good. I would love to join. Also, I've meaning to ask how you've been coping. I know you lost your friend recently. I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't want to overstep by asking. I hope it's ok It gets a little easier every day, but I suspect this is going to take some time. I forgot and called her the other day, only to realize her phone is still connected. It was nice hearing her voice, but it did bum me out. The kids are keeping me busy. Again. I'm so sorry. I can't imagine. Do you mind if I ask what happened. Was she sick or was this a sudden death? She had been sick for a long time... you would have never guessed though. She lived a full life right up to the time she had to be hospitalized. She was much stronger than I think I could be. How's your dad doing?  He's ok. We don't talk as much I'd like. I think he's still getting used my being a lesbian. He's very old school, and very religious, and is having a hard time accepting it. It's definitely strained out relationship but we're working through it slowly. He'll come around eventually, he probably just doesn't know what to say or do. I am sure he's really proud of you, look at what you have accomplished! I was just thinking. My daughter has a soccer game soon and I think one of her teammates could be LGBT... you should come with us.
