Reading Playwriting Master Class by Michael Wright... interesting to study the processes of other playwrights... although at the same time, valueless. Every writer has their own unique process... though Wright's premise of dividing writers up into three categories of process (dreams... journeys... cut from whole cloth) does bear some scrutiny if for no other reason than a chance for each writer to query the specifics of their own process. Possibly there is a fourth, perhaps even a fifth and sixth.
Research proceeding apace on Bridge/Berkeley's monologue... found a huge trove of research on Berkeley's life, including some accidental parallels between certain relationships with women in his life and relationships of my protagonist and women in his life. I couldn't have known this beforehand, yet somehow it seems to gel so perfectly.
And of course the job is knocking me flat so I'm grateful to even write this blog, nevermind a script. The day I leave the job, aye, indeed thah will be a blessed one.
