Need to write a monologue by Friday for Playwriting. It can be about anything, so I figured I'd use this journal as it was intended and think "aloud", if you will.
A monologue is one person speaking at length. Could be to him or herself, to another person or people, or to the audience. Topics: For some reason, I've been thinking about death and grieving lately, and I'd like to try toying with a topic I haven't played with before. I could do "relate my history", sort of like Inigo's speech about the six-fingered man, but that feels a little...straightforward. Actually, I'm starting to like the idea of a double-cross. Two characters had a deal, and after one gets what he wants, he tells the other to go fuck himself. Yeah.
So, what dirty deed was just committed? Theft? Murder? Subset of murder: assassination? Rigging an election? Yeah. I like that. A newly-elected senator, who got there with the help of a small-time mob boss, decides to renege on his side of the deal, and instead has the mobster killed "in self-defense".
