"So, I wrote. I wrote until the storm in me subsided, until my fingers jammed, and the tears that I had made began to fall onto the paper causing the ink from my pen strokes to bleed. I wrote until my belly exploded with laughter and my giggles interrupted silent rooms filled with people quietly minding their own business. ." -Alisa L Brock

So She Writes
by Alisa L Brock
After Margaret scurries into the theatre late, she finds herself on stage, taking what is supposed to be a simple two minute audition monologue, and turning it into her own one woman show. In this incredibly real and quite hilarious encounter with vulnerability, author Alisa L. Brock rhythmically pulls us out of our comfort zone with the turn of each page.
So She Writes by Alisa L. Brock is the story of twenty-nine-year-old Margaret Ellen Harris, a writer and out of work actress, attempting to free herself of the the blockages preventing her from reaching her maximum potential, both personally and professionally. As she gathers the strength to walk in some of the most uncomfortable and painful moments of her past, she invites Maggie, her younger self, and others aboard in order to gain clarity on some of the dilemmas being faced in her adult life. From stories of her childhood playground romance, to her late night rendezvous with strangers as an adult, Margaret takes make-believe to a whole new level. However, Margaret's infatuation with make-believe comes to a halt when she is forced to face things head on.
