"People who curse have a lack of imagination." When something goes wrong, I spit out my favorite. It is simply, "Bugs!" (with much emphasis). Or, "Oh Shaw" if I'm disappointed- from my Grandmother. I could keep up with the infamous drunken sailor should I choose to do so, but how would spuming out such foul obscene words help the situation? I don't see either of you using bad words. They're not in your vocabulary; you're much more sophisticated than that. And yes, Emily, I knew you intend to work until they carry you away, just like I intend to do. --Happy Days!
You two are hilarious! Oh pooh! I don't know how eloquent Shakespeare was when being blasphemous. Now I must know. I'm on a mission. Thanks for inviting me to your show. I will be listening to many more.

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
