The last few days have actually been kind of busy. Yesterday, I went on a field trip with X and M. The 8th grade English classes went and so did the theatre classes, so both kids got to go. If was to see Diary of Anne Frank at the high school. Since its only a few blocks, the kids walked over to the high school, and I was with M. She, her 2 cute friends and I were the tail end of the herd of kids. The performance was really good and the kids were a pretty good audio, though, it was pretty funny to listen to then react to the whole "kissing" scene.
The play inspired me with my rewrite that I've been stuck on. I did some rearranging is scenes, so they build better on each other. I'm really liking how much better it flows. Now I'm stuck on this scene between my leads that is making me crazy. It needs to be completely intimate and honest, but not have on the nose dialog. Thus is the scene that really shows how the relationship develops between the leads, so it is extremely critical to the story. I almost know what I want to happen, it's getting close. Once this scene is done, it's just back to tweaking a bit here and there, making sure the buildup is good.
I know why I've been taking my time sending this out, because I knew there were places that just weren't as strong as they needed to be. When it goes out, it will be the best I can make it. I really want to submit to Nicholls this year. Maybe a couple of the other big ones as well. See what happens with stuff. This is the best my writing had ever been. I know it's only going ti get better. Exciting stuff.
