OLD SOLDIERS - UPDATE
Made some progress and added some new dialogue to "Old Soldiers". Now working on starting from the beginning, rather than continue to focus on the section where a group of old vets meeting in the bar/pub. This will stay as is (at least for the time being) but before proceeding, I have to see where it all began.
I'm planning to introduce a female into the mix in order to show that Joe has a soft side. Most likely other characters who will show themselves as the writing progresses. Never know which direction a story line will go and that's what makes the task so interesting.
As much as I dislike - make that detest - doing a character chart and breakdown, it really does help. Actually, I didn't do it for the other two plays since I knew the beginning and ending before I even started writing the plays. The story line is there in the short story version I wrote but like my paintings, it can change a hundred times until I get that "click" indicating it works. Hopefully, this will work. Love this story and became close to the characters.
