I wrote and performed on Zoom on May 3, 2022 a monologue called "She Read My Diary" for the May NeoFest of our Neo Ensemble Theatre LA. I'm not exactly sure of how we got on the topic of diaries at one of the writers group meetings, but I made a remark about my mother reading my diary when I was young and how that destroyed writing diaries for me. That remark prompted one of the group to challenge me to write it up as a monologue. You can view my performance on the monologues page of this website.
I'm very grateful to be a part of Neo Ensemble Theatre LA. I had never performed monologues except for the occasional one in front of a casting director. And of course, when I started these monologues with Neo, I had never performed on Zoom either. But the pandemic hit and we had to keep acting somehow to survive, and this was a great opportunity. Acting on Zoom however is its own learning curve. And I'm grateful to the fine, experienced actors in Neo who have helped me learn, craft, create, and improve with each monologue.

She Read My Diary” sounds like a deeply personal and emotionally raw monologue — the kind that truly connects with audiences. It’s amazing how performances like this can transform private feelings into something universally relatable. Just like organizing your thoughts before a show, sometimes life also feels clearer when things are tidy and in order — a bit like using house cleaning hacks to declutter your space and mind. Both creativity and cleanliness bring balance and calm to everyday chao
reading the post about the monologue “She Read My Diary” made me remember the many nights I spent wrestling with drafts and seeking the right voice for my research work. In those moments where I felt unsure how to articulate what I truly meant, it became clear that bringing in a academic dissertation editing services partner could help me find clarity, refine the structure, and allow the essence of my argument to shine through.
This is a great explanation of what a Maison de naissance offers! It’s wonderful to see such personalized, supportive care for expecting parents. Reading about experiences like these also inspires others to share their own stories if you’re interested in writing, learning how to self-publish a book is a fantastic way to bring personal experiences and insights to a wider audience.
