Backward Turn Backward oh time in your flight... John in the 7th grade. Now I would loved to have seen that. My heart warms as I, too, remember the 7th grade and of singing a song titled "What Good is a Gal Without a Guy?" at the school talent contest. Think I won 2nd prize. Let's not turn the clock back any further than that! Cheerio McCullums.
So Ms Emily where would you go back too? Like John I think 6th grade. Right before Junior High. But back then not today,second part of you could magically go back what would be one bit of knowledge you would want to take back, not financial that would help you?
If I turned back my clock I probably would make the same mistakes all over again...so I think I would keep the clock as it is. My life is today...which by the way is very cold.

HOW I GOT HERE
I'm a writer, writing things that haven't brought me fame, but continue to involve me, inspire me to find an audience.
I started out as a modern dancer, contemporary, but balletic. I didn't want to be a swan, or a barefoot dancer. I wanted to dance to the music that thrilled me as a child, and made me want to be a dancer.
I began writing in the truck my first husband, Mark Ryder and I bought, in order to carry our set, props, and costumes for a long one-night-stands tour -- eighty-eighty performances in eighty-eight cities.
We were performing "Romeo and Juliet" nightly, but our marriage was breaking up. Every day while our stage manager drove us two-hundred miles or so to the next booking, I'd type a detailed description of last night -- what we did well, what we argued about, and a travelogue about the town, and comments from the people at the nightly party.
Recovering from the trip and the divorce, I sent my "car book" to a friend who said -- "Em, it's great, but ..." And that became rewrites, and another book. Then, my marriage to actor John Cullum, and then a play that got produced, and another book, big hopes because a famous agent loved it. The title and concept changed five times -- now it's been published, finally, as "Somebody, Woman of the Century." You can buy it, or read about it and my other five novels on Emily Frankel.com
