The script is really ready to be put on its feet, and let it sink or swim.  I have been working so hard.   I have rewritten the whole thing probably 5 full times at this point, and I am ready to do more if necessary. Cousin Mike has been my cheerleader, editor, heckler, and champion.  (After all, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=9115\">he&#8217;s the one that really started the whole thing<\/a>, as a way to get me working again in the first wave of my grief. You can see his supportive comment to that post.) Through sheer force of will, in the middle of one of the busiest times of his life, he helped me push to get this to happen.  So anyway, I&#8217;m off.  Lots of family and friends in Los Angeles, and I love it there, so I&#8217;m looking forward to it.  Butterflies in stomach too.  This is a big big moment for me.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After two years of almost constant work on my script, and various readings and conference calls with cousin Mike, and rewrites and edits and email exchanges &#8211; not to mention making my friends read the script outloud with me at &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=38894\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[2450],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38894"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38894"}],"version-history":[{"count":28,"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38894\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43874,"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38894\/revisions\/43874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
