and no, I’m not talking about my period.
Just like I found November to be busy with the one acts, it seems like a whirlwind of stuff is cropping up to impede me on my script frenzy journey, but none the less, I have faith in myself.
I have also figured out that it’s very difficult to write a musical. Cranking out lyrics to songs is fairly difficult, but, it must be done. It’s actually quite enjoyable, but I don’t really have any music. I just know the type of beat (ie: fast, slow) that I want various verses to have.
Here’s one of my songs (actually the first one I wrote):
GOMEZ
YOU SEE EVER SINCE I WAS A YOUNGIN’
I PLAYED TROMBONE FOR ALL THE LAND
WITH PASSION YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND
BUT LAST AFTERNOON I FELT A TUGGIN’
DOWN THE ALLEY AS I WALKED
A THUG CAME AND RAPIDLY BLOCKED
MY PATH AND THEN HE STARTED MUGGIN’
MY TROMBONE HE TOOK
THEN HE BOOKED RIGHT OUT OF THIS LAND
I SUPPOSE IT WAS A VERY GRAND PLAN
BUT YOU SEE THAT’S NOT ALL HE DID
I’M SURE HE NEVER REALIZED
WHO AM I TO KID
HOW WOULD HE KNOW
THAT THAT TROMBONE I HAD
HAD DEFEATED MY FOE ONCE BEFORE
AND NOW THAT IT’S GONE HE HAS RELEASED EVIL
MUCH MUCH MORE
FROM THE DARKEST OF LORE
MARIKA
(spoken)
THERE THERE NOW
IT CAN’T BE THAT BAD
(sung)
IT’S ONLY AN INSTRUMENT
WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO DO
PLAY THE THREAT AWAY
IT’S ONLY A WORRY
WIPE IT FROM YOUR MIND
WE’LL BUY ANOTHER ONE
WHAT HARM CAN COME
IT’S ONLY A SENTIMENTAL OBJECT
IT HOLDS NO ACTUAL WORTH
THIS TALK ABOUT EVIL AND LORE
IT’S SILLY PETTY AND UNREALISTIC
INSTEAD FILL YOURSELF WITH MIRTH
GOMEZ
NO YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
THAT’S NOT HOW IT IS
THIS WASN’T A DREAM
IT WILL AFFECT ALL THE LAND
IT’S A MAGICAL INSTRUMENT
MARIKA
(spoken)
THAT’S SILLY
GOMEZ
NO, IT’S TRUE
MARIKA
IT’S IN YOUR HEAD
GOMEZ
I’M NOT MAKING THIS UP
MARIKA
COULD HAVE FOOLED ME
ARE YOU ON DRUGS
GOMEZ
NO
MARIKA
WOULD YOU PEE IN A CUP
SAMMY
(spoken)
ENOUGH
(sung)
MARIKA YOU’RE CLUELESS
PLEASE DON’T TAKE OFFENSE
ARE YOU LISTENING TO YOURSELF
YOU’RE NOT MAKING MUCH SENSE
(at GOMEZ)
BUT THE SAME GOES FOR YOU
A MAGIC TROMBONE
BUT I’M TRUSTING YOUR WORD
AFTER ALL YOU’RE A GNOME
SO LET’S STOP THIS PETTY FIGHTING
AND FIND A GOOD SOLUTION
(at GOMEZ)
PLEASE EXPLAIN SOME MORE
(at MARIKA)
AND WE’LL LISTEN
Copy + Paste from Celtx doesn’t format pretty in the blog but it will have to do. Gomez, Marika, and Sammy are the characters singing if you couldn’t figure it out.
So, back to the script 
Have fun, and good luck to everyone.
