This familiar signpost from MASH, now at the Smithsonian Museum of American History spoke volumes to the show's characters about how far they were from home. I feel like that this morning - I can see the signpost and the direction I need to take to get my book in print, but I'm far, far from there. The work required to get there feels overwhelming. It's THERE and I'm HERE.
Before I can do the necessary editing and revising, a focused plan has to be developed. By me. And my protagonist Sophie, who I created and I know well, has been mute about my intended plans thus far. Which is why I'm wearing the T-shirt Michael gave me for Christmas. It says, "Writer's Block: When your imaginary friends won't talk to you."
I'm going to Washington and I would like to visit that museum and see this signpost! Where can I find it, in what division? Are there any other things from MASH?
ReplyDeleteIt's at the Smithsonian's Museum of American History, along with Dorothy's ruby slippers, Mister Rogers' sweater, and Archie Bunker's armchair. A must-see museum, as all the Smithsonians are in my opinion. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIs that signpost still there?
ReplyDeleteI took this photo at the museum about 3 years ago. I don't know if it's still there. Their website might have info on their current exhibits, or you could call and inquire.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Thanks for your answers!
