Jeeze its been a while since I've been here! This semester really just flew by. Anyways, as far as play writing is concerned...
I'm still working on making believable dialogue, and making my characters sound like different people. So far the only real way I am accomplishing this is by having one character use more contractions than the other; which is working, but my one character sounds far too proper to be believable. Also, I think I'm going to write my play in such a fashion that it is never really clear if my main character has super strength; but that is can be argued effectively for both cases. I feel this will make the story a bit more interesting as well as more "realistic", (as realistic as super strength can be anyways). The more I think about it though, the more I feel if I take this path, I will have to end up killing my main character to keep the wonder going. I mean lets face it, the longer he is alive, the greater the odds of his super strength becoming more apparent. For a moment I thought I could make him mysteriously disappear in some accident, but I feel that's too hard to work in without being too cliche.
