- Another key scene down.
- I think I managed to both embrace and then subvert an expectation.
- Super simple, but I cannot wait to see this acted out. So fun. Ending my day inspired.

- Wow! Big number today. 😊
- Working on building a clear villain story arc.
- Wrote a new scene to support that this afternoon.
- Bold decision… I’m taking this streak to 100.
- That *should* finish this script draft, and maybe even start something new! Yay!

- Didn’t want to write today. Did it anyway.
- Wrote another key scene.
- Locked in a big swing. It was clearly the best option.
- Goodnight world.

- Went through my existing script doc. - Edited some scenes.
- Laid out the cue cards again. Trying to think about the show as a whole.
- Made a list of the scenes I need to finish the story and officially have a 1st draft.
- It’s getting close…

- Cut or clarified characters. Ideally I want at least 3 appearances for everyone, unless it’s a reeeeally fun one off.
- Started working on another high emotion high energy group scene for the final act. But needs more attachment to whole group. Might have to write this last.

- My brain was somewhere else today…
- So I wrote dialogue for a completely different project I’ve been daydreaming about.
- This writing challenge is definitely helping me get some ideas out of my head and onto the (computer) page!

- Finished the writing earlier, almost forgot to post…
- Wrote a very relatable situation that sets up the final push of the show
- Need more moments in the 2nd half, so this is a very useable scene!

- Wrote another lil speech that should work well for the first act
- This is going to be a frenetic show
- I think I might be able to finish a draft by day 50… 🫣

- In an effort to sort through what I’m working with… I did the cue card thing.
- Named each scene to a card, laid them out, and played with the order. It was helpful to see what’s missing, where the momentum is, and how to maximize contrast
- rewrote and intercut two monologues too!

- Wrote a little
- Read about structure a lot
- Wrote a little bit more.
- Created a kind of looping text that shows contrast between characters. But also highlights how weirdly similar they are. Made it like madlibs.
- I honestly cannot believe how long this streak has gone.

- Worked on two impactful scenes that tie in together
- One at the midpoint.
- One at the emotional climax. This scene is in progress.
- It remains fun kind of finding the threads through the chaos of this expansive world
- Next up, gotta write a fight scene 🥊

- Did some tedious work today.
- A bunch of my writing has been kind of dialogue between groups of people without a clear distinction of character, so I spent a couple hours naming a bunch of people, and further defining characters in scenes.

- Finished yesterday’s scene!
- A fun entry point to the story.
- Bit of a grind to write today, but still finding stuff. Can’t wait to tie it all together.

- Was busy today, but wrote about half of a very specific standalone scene which I think really embodies my goal for the project.
- Very niche. Excited to finish it!

- Writing is rewriting…
- Spent a few hours filling in the blanks this afternoon
- Cool milestone: Currently sitting at 42 pages (in my weird formatting), which exceeds the length of any play I’ve ever wrote! And I don’t think I’m anywhere close to being done
- Happy NYE!

- Wrote two story-based motivational speeches (that don’t suck!) for the characters who needed them.
- Was nice to play in a specific style and rhetoric.
- I’ve also been reading through the mega draft wondering where to fill in the blanks.

- Added some more scenes to the rough assembly. Punched up a couple.
- finally made a character list. There are currently 31!!! 😳
- I don’t even know if I’m halfway done this script
- I usually write small cast material.
- What is happening
- I honestly don’t know
- but I like it?

- Started writing a pretty crucial scene (that was one of my earliest ideas for the project and I think will eventually work!), but I need the specifics of what comes immediately before to make the characters’ dialogue pop... Guess I know what I’m working on tomorrow!

- Didn’t like my initial writing today
- So tried writing a plot point three different ways. With different characters. In different locations.
- I still don’t know which one works best. Not sure any will stick. Hope it seems obvious tomorrow… 🫠
- But something is better than nothing!

- Fine tuned a scene
- Wrote a new scene featuring some Reddit hot takes as dialogue. The truth (in this case) is meaner than fiction.
- Streaking through Christmas! 🎄

- Short scene (but pivotal scene) done!
- Back on track for plot
- Although I feel like I’ve really built up a character and now I need to find him an earlier moment to shine.

- Writing done at record speed!
- Embraced a kind of stylistic surreal thing I do that I think will be super useful for the play I’m working on.
- I don’t know what it looks like on stage, but I know exactly how it should sound!
- Merry Christmas (Eve) to me!
