I have recently returned to work in my chosen field (after 25 years sabbatical--raising a family). Since returning to writing four years ago, I have been a finalist in two national New play Festivals, had 5 workshop productions (of 5 different full length plays), a dozen staged readings and had my work presented in LA, New York and London. As we all know 'that' and about 4.25 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. I graduated from CalArts in 1981 (BFA)--stopped to raise a family--and now returned ready for bear.
