Once More, With Feeling now has a complete first draft. It clocks in at about 28 standard letter-size pages. I = super happy. Hopefully, I can get a lot of feedback on it and make the necessary changes, maybe snowflake it out a bit. If anyone actually reads this and wants to help me out by reading it and giving me their thoughts, I'd be glad to e-mail you a copy.
Now that the "bang it out" portion is done, I can focus on other writing exercises. I'll also be updating this more often.
One of the things we just did in Playwriting was try to write a group monologue. We started by freewriting on insomnia, and it had to start with "In the middle of the night, " We then picked a passage we wanted to improve (about a sentence length), and we're trying to stitch them together. I'm okay with what I came up with for the class, but I thought of a better one I really like while I was on my grave shift.
"Can't sleep. Can't sleep. Know why? It's the gremlins in my head. Little fuckers won't stop scratching at the walls. Scratch, scratch, scratch, they go. Scratch, scratch, scratch."
