Five scenes are all that stand between me and being done with a first draft! I sent Act 1 back out to Kelly today. I can't tell if the edits I did made it better or worse. I think they made it better. But now there might be one or two smaller details that I cut out. Easily fixed.
I had started to doubt the song choices in the beginning - but the edits made them work. I needed to heighten the urgency in some scenes. I think I did that. Fab.
So, now it is on to vignettes.
I almost feel bad though. There are ten people in t his play. But the ones who do most of the talking and all of the singing are the women. The men are there and I think they have a good presence. But these are Midwestern farmers here, they don't talk much and they certainly wouldn't sing.
I'm pretty excited to finish. The house is now occupied by more than just me, so I must be off to somewhere else where I can think.
