Elle: Yeah, this is the longest I've ever spent on a play and I'm loving not having to write scene descriptions - just let the dialogue flow. I think it's gonna help in my prose. And I like that: bulldoze. That is certainly what Gloria has been doing :)<br /><br />@AchingHope: We need to get some Jungle Jam for our road trip to Polaris!<br /><br />@B. Miller: It is less work, isn't it. I love when they practically start writing themselves (unless I want to fight them. Then we just all get in a tizzy)<br /><br />@Jenn: I'll let you know when the auditions are :P It might be a long commute to New York, though.<br /><br />@Grammy: I'm glad you enjoyed it :)<br /><br />@Blam: Thanks. I feel like there is something profound in your comment, but I'm gonna have to come back to it tomorrow when I have had some sleep and the carpet cleaning chemicals are no longer clouding up my brains. :) and I love your VWs as always :)Rebecca T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11994380364321336824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881903861346737553.post-46217430672854654722010-04-12T23:43:28.879-04:002010-04-12T23:43:28.879-04:00I forgot to subscribe to the comments.

Now you’ve got me doing it!"</i><br /><br />Nice. 8^) I like where this is going. <br /><br />I'd say to let the characters and story take you where they will. For one thing, <i>you're writing</i>. Why sit there wondering how to make what "should" happen next happen, when the flow is at least going somewhere? I'm not saying thinking is bad, of course, and maybe you really do need to follow the plot you're straying from, but at worst you're coming up with another story in the meantime; I can only speak for myself, but often I find that I'm writing one story with part of my head while the rest, and my fingers, are writing another — or even while I'm watching TV or reading a book, and, oddly enough, it's not the other narrative that's giving me active foreground answers to the story not being written (through, say, plot points to steal) but the simple act of denying that background story that forces my mind to figure it out. This holds true for nonfiction, too, and it's probably how half my current blogposts are born, the downside being that more pieces get started than finished; when money and/or real deadlines are involved, obviously, you can only allow the wandering to go so far, but it's still worthwhile, and if you're just being creative I say let it flow.<br /><br />VW: <i>normen</i> — Guys from Scandinavia.<br /><br>Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881903861346737553.post-52601996003469735932010-04-12T22:13:20.698-04:002010-04-12T22:13:20.698-04:00Ha!

I've always been good at dialogue and playwriting was where I could really hone that skill. So cool that you write plays, too!<br /><br />And as for characters taking over... yeah, uh, they bulldoze me. I just let them go and eventually we all come back together. But I need to let them have their fun - especially when they're actually being pretty darn insightful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881903861346737553.post-71107035639797628522010-04-12T15:22:48.454-04:002010-04-12T15:22:48.454-04:00I've never had a character take over, but I ha...I've never had a character take over, but I have realized that I didn't know them as well as I'd thought.
