Great program Em and John. Hate in my mind is a reaction to things or people we don't understand or that we fear. Instead of trying to understand someone, we decide we hate them. That's my thought for what its worth. Great one folks, keep those programs coming.
We are living in a time of vast hatred and its heartbreaking and also very frightening. The congress hates Obama because he is Black and therefore they throw up constant roadblocks in his path.
Isis and other terror groups hate us and other civilized societies because we think and act so differently than they do. (At least I think that is why they hate us.) They want to destroy us.
Trump and his supporters are fueled by hatred. They terrify me. I am so frightened that he will wind up as our next president and if so, I am terrified by what he would do to our country. I frankly am terrified and saddened by all of this hatred. I've lived a long time. I was a child of the 50's. I have seen so many changes. I am far from naive, but I just don't understand why there is just so much violence and hatred at this point in time. I hate too...I hate living in these terrible times.

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
