You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?
Gimme my TONY while I look at it on my desk as I bang out more hits. A hit musical is a huge accomplishment because writing a musical is a difficult feat. Pats on the back are definitely in order but getting beside yourself isn't. Its time to capitalize on this by writing a book, doing a promotion tour, etc. Get in serious hustle mode cause everybody will be looking for a way to get a slice of the pie you baked! I don't feel I'm famous unless I'm consistent in the craft if thats not possible then I will be known as a one hit wonder and that is nothing to let go to anyone's head. I believe I have more than one hit in me and in order for me to be considered famous I would set out to prove that true. I would remind myself that if I don't continue writing and growing, my claim to fame will be a one hit wonder! That humbles me!!! Its like a movie no one really pays attention to the person who write the screenplay its all about the actors and directors. I have to embrace my role and realize that showboating can only cause the public to shame you! I honestly don't think musical writers get paid alot of money. Its a special occupation that has the ability to die out if its not careful. Its hard work to create a score in words as opposed to just instrumental.
Rest in Peace August Wilson!!
