The Drama Club *Updated 3/31/11

[seaweedy]

Good suggestion, I think readers are happier with blogs. I am very nearly finished with this one and while I may continue to use the storyboard, I will duplicate future stories on a blog.

Just wanted to let you know I've started reading this. I'm done with the 1st act and I'm hoping to squeeze in some once Chippy is asleep. Right now she wants to play with my hair and give me a makeover. The joys of being a mom *dramatic sigh*

[jillyson]

Awww. I want a make-over!!!!

I'm all caught up now, and all I can say is WOW, I love this. I think I've told you this, but you have such an amazing, unique voice and I love, love, love all your pieces.

Fleur is such a trip...but in a good way. I like her character very much. Lana seems like your typical teenager everyone can identify with, and I love her to bits. Now, I don't know what's up with Greer, the way he just wants to see Lana only on Sunday's isn't cool. And about him, and Ms. Joyce, there's a story there, I can't wait to read it.

I loved your shots in this. Stunning, and you've given me so many ideas.

For those of you who are able to read this story, here is Scene 7:

Thanks so much for the encouraging comments. What a great community this is!

WOW! That was completely unexpected! I wonder if this has something to do with the way he treats Lana at school?

What a relief Lana's mother doesn't have to find out about what happened on the trip! That would've been the end of Drama club for sure!

And how nice to see Fleur being descent for a change - I have a feeling it won't last long. That girl has issues!

You really did a great job depicting the characters at the soup kitchen - very realistic and sympathetic!
Great job!

[seaweedy]

Thanks so much Jillyson. I am looking forward to a new chapter of your story.

[valpre1983]

Wow, I'm behind on this again. I'll catch up as soon as I'm done wrestling with this concert stage I'm trying to build for Krisis

[seaweedy]

If you can get on the site, it is a fairly short update.

[valpre1983]

You were right, it is a short update.

This made me sad. I didn't expect that about Greer's family. I like that he introduced Lana to his mom, I think it's a sign he's somewhat into her.

Glad the drama teacher didn't tell the parents. Their punishment did a whole lot of good than being grounded for a month would have done.

I'm looking forward to their Sunday date

[seaweedy]

Thanks for reading, Valpre. It is so encouraging to get such great feedback.

[valpre1983]

No thanks needed. I love your writing. Now I'm patiently waiting for the next Scene

[seaweedy]

Wait no more, after playing Browser Roulette with the storyboard all afternoon, I managed to publish:

SCENE VIII Three Small Words

(same link in first post)

I am always amazed at how quickly you and some others can get their updates finished. I'm pretty old, so maybe my creative juices just take longer to stew!

[jillyson]

Awwww.

I couldn't think of a single valid reason for his treatment of Lana - except the icky version that he & Genet "had" something. You really pulled off a great one! I loved the insight, and I especially loved the last frame. Just so sweet.
