The weather continues
to be stunning.
Today I start
the back of the skirt. It’s like starting over because it basically involves everything
that I’ve been doing during the past month all over again — but with a
different design and armed with the knowledge gained to date.
The load feels
light because I feel the script is as far as I can take it without some
thoughtful feedback. I will revise the words forever, but I think the plot points
are in place; I think there’s adequate tension and enough novelty to overcome
the absence of wit (so far).
There’s one
thing in my script that I think is effective: Very early in the script, the
protagonist threatens Royce, who’s against her plans, by saying: “I have two
words for you, Royce: The apron.” And he immediately changes his behavior.
Later, the
apron is used again as a threat and then it’s part of the big
confrontation/resolution scene at the end of the play. That’s good structure,
like a recurring joke. At least I have that to feel confident about.
