			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6" title="Afi Scruggs headshot for print" src="http://www.aoscruggs.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Afi-Scruggs-headshot-for-print-198x300.jpg" alt="Afi Scruggs headshot for print" width="178" height="270" /> Yes, I know. I&#8217;ve used the generic headline from wordpress.com, but hey, it&#8217;s working for me.</p>
<h4>Update</h4>
<p>I started this site as a work in progress. The work was the story of segregation from a nine-year-old&#8217;s point of view. That book, because I&#8217;d planned to write a book, took place during Easter, 1963 in Nashville, Tenn. The heroine, Stephanie, learned she wouldn&#8217;t get a new dress because Negroes are boycotting the department stores downtown. She was crushed &#8211; until a friend offered a tempting way to circumvent the protest.</p>
<p>That book turned into a short story which turned into a screenplay, thanks to a screenwriting class I took this past spring. The screenplay might turn into a stage play, but at least I&#8217;ve finished a project I&#8217;d been working on since 1995. </p>
<p>So the site is now my calling card. I&#8217;ve posted links to my work in <a href="http://www.aoscruggs.com/articles-etc/" target="_blank"><strong>In Print</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.aoscruggs.com/online/" target="_blank"><strong>Online</strong></a>, and <a href="http://www.aoscruggs.com/on-air/" target="_blank"><strong>On Air</strong></a>.
