So after getting back from a vacation with Todd, I got back to work on writing. It wasn't a very productive week, but at least by the end of it, my creative side was getting back into gear.
I have been working on The Two Misters for the month of February and March, but the idea has been geling for a while. It is the story of Mr. Kidd and Mr. Wint who if remembered were the two baddies in the film, Diamonds Are Forever. After watching the film, I became intrigued by the two gay lovers who seem to be a whole entity of the film outside the main plotline. These characters have been larger than life to me, but I haven't been able to nail down a real character to them. It's weird but I have given more role to my secondary characters lately like Mrs. Kidd, Kidd's mother, and the guards who set out a chain of events. Hard to describe right now until I get my play nailed down, but I will be working more on getting Kidd and Wint more fleshed out and how they become the killers in Diamonds Are Forever (without of course mentioning it since I could be sued ). :)
The second project in my head right now is Jewish play entry I'm working on for the end of May. I have a lot of story to get together, but the characters and meaning behind the play are coming together quite well. I'll have more on that later.

Books I've Read:
1)The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants by Ann Brashares - I am such a girl. I loved the movie so I read the book and now I'm hooked on the girl's adolescent lives. It really is a great book about girls and responsibility.

2)Stones by William Bell - a teen book that was written by an Ontario writer, pretty good, though the teen romance side of things was way too easy (even for a school book).

3) The Compleat Female Stage Beauty by Jeffrey Hatcher - a good play that was made into a so-so movie, this play describes an actor in Shakespeare's day when men played the women and when the change occured. Lots of great dialogue and a true actor's piece.
