Sorry guys (two of you) I haven't had free internet until Minnesota :) But I'm happily sitting in a Caribou coffee working on the main event of this entire trip! The script. It's coming along, the pre-planning is done and I'm just about ready to start writing the actual thing--which is pretty good because for me outlining is the hardest part. I'm really enjoying this airport, which is good because I'm stuck here because weather in Chicago is horrible and is delaying everything-aka horrible news for standbys like myself. I wanted to get down to Dallas in time to see my sister off (she promised me tacos) but if I can get to Chicago before nightfall I can still catch her there. Don't know if it'll happen.
The script, or the idea of the script at least, I'm really pleased with. It's a combination of some of my favorite ideas and fits together very well actually. My playwriting teacher in college always told us if a script doesn't cost you something, or take something out of you, then it isn't worth writing in the first place. This one definitely does. It's very personal and it's very difficult emotionally for me to even outline, but I think in the end writing it will be very good for my soul. It's like a journal of sorts, and writing out the feelings and lessons I have experienced will if nothing else just ease my soul. This script to me is a gift from God, and I pray for continued relief while writing it.
Terminal Scripting onward!
