The hardest part of this confession has already been made. It is easier to admit an unwelcome truth to the world than to admit it to yourself, and I faced this one in late 2003.

In a writer's life, the internal urge to do the best he can and to shine with creative ability is a fundamental emotional necessity. As a writer, you might say, " I am already a storywriter; why would I bother with a play?"
