Write time, write place

Good lord, this is as exciting as shooting drano into your veins!!!

Last evening Tracy Medberry and co-writer John, when deep into character exposition. We learned so many things about what and who Emma Melody is as Tracy Medberry answered questions about Emmas deepseated fears and her relationships. John took a crack at the coked up Miles Cartwright, and did a method acting dive like an acid trip. John was very successful at method channelling...it just wasn't Cartwright.
This was crazy, because John had never successfully done method personae. Losing himself in the undefined character, John had a heck of a time getting back.

The play is getting better, using Egri as a tutorial on character construction was suggested by a gentleman at the Austin Scriptworks meeting in August. Excellent information, excellent book.
