I am happy to announce that yesterday I retired from my “day job” and am now working full-time as a screenwriter.
I am so grateful for my former employers at Schulte Roth & Zabel, who made it possible for me to retire. I must admit it was difficult. The firm is filled with incredible people, and I love them all.
But I am leaving to focus on work I love and live a life that I love.
At 68 I am entering Act Three of my life, and as all writers know, the best things happen in Act Three!
Much love to you all!

Congrats! I resigned last May and have no regrets. If you haven't already, consider joining The Writers' Room so you can participate in our daytime writing sprints! The accountability and comradery are great. :)
