Aug. 30th, 2004 06:08 pmAs has been evidenced somewhere in the swirl of my massively divided attention span around here, I have a real hard on about a lot of the fall movies coming out, notably Vanity Fair (two days away now) and Closer (December).
I had to code an entire article about Closer at work today, and it enticed me further. So, I ran out and bought the play, and hot damn, it's just... exactly the sort of thing I think plays should be about in the way I think they should be about them.
But more importantly than that, it made me absolutely 120% realize exactly what it is I need to write about the Michael thing, and how, because I finally see the thread of the plot there, and see it at a distance and see why it should be told in a given way in a given format, and I am just so fucking excited, even if the act of writing such thing will effectively make every terrible thing he ever said about me true.
And I don't care.
I'm going to write it, and I'm going to submit it to Fringe next year.
That said... Closer -- this play, this play... it makes me want to take a scene study class right now just to work on parts of this with someone.
I'm not being eloquent, I'm too excited by too many things to be eloquent right now.

He doesn't own your life, or your stories. (And, she said snottily, if he doesn't like the way he appears in your stories, he can jolly well write his own [and he should have been a better person, or not gotten involved with a woman with ink in her veins and pen nibs for fingernails].)
