SEPT 2, 2022 – SELF-IMPOSED WRITING CHALLENGE DAY 2

I am writing this mid-flight. The guy next to me ordered a Jack and Coke. Goat. Anyhow, I was originally going to not write but I can’t fall asleep and there’s free Wi-Fi (thanks JetBlue) so here goes.

I’m on my way to New York City. Going to visit my aunt/older sister and I’m very happy. But it has me thinking about the potential for this story I want to craft. For one, I want some pieces of my family to be involved in this story. Obviously, outside of the racial similarities, I want a piece of me to live in this play. Those tend to be the best plays in my opinion. So for this trip I’m going to see what I could potentially use.

Another thing I want to potentially add to this piece is a true main character. I have to avoid falling into a trap of ensembles. It feels antiquated.
