My wife and I will perform in a play at church later this month in honor of black history month. My wife will perform a monologue and read a poem. I will read a monologue. We have been involved with the theater arts for about a year. The leader pointed out that to my wife that she is a good actor and that I was a natural storyteller.
I'm quiet and reserved by nature. Performing and writing plays and doing improv has allowed me to go outside of myself. I'm not a perfectionist but I like to do things well. When I rely on the script so much, my natural story telling came through.
I wrote a novella but will rewrite it. I will be rewritten from a transgender prism. This just came out of the blue. I never wanted to limit myself just as a transgender writer. I realize now that my trans experience needs to be incorporated because it is who I am as a person. More onion layers are being peeled away. I'm being transformed in mind and heart.
