Thinking small

Act 2 is now completely blocked out. I've added... a LOT! All very little vignettes. This makes me happy. I like vignettes. For one thing, they're short. I don't have to fill page after page after page with dialogue. Additionally, they are sweet. They are tiny morsals of information that are easy to follow and they allow for a better and freer flow for the words. It's amazing how chaacters can grow and say more, faster, when they actually speak and do less.

There are about seventeen vignettes in the Act. I know that seems like a lot, but some of these scenes are a minute long - if that. Some scenes are made up of three or four smaller bits that get strung together by a song. I'm excited.
