About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

That is a wonderful idea, Igor. I have the drafts of May newsletters ready, but I'll try to address this issue in June or if I can swing it, even a little earlier.
Theater is bare bones, and you're right, a stage play has no place for the narrative. Stage settings, props, and actors lines are all you can depend on.
A screen play is a little different. You can give directions to the actors more and write more on the setting and how you want things done.
So, if you are interested, why not start with a screen play first? Then you can promote yourself to writing stage plays.
