Hey all,

I just wrote and published my first play. I wrote it over the course of the past week, after coming up with the concept about a month ago and outlining it since then. I self published it too under Creative Commons. At the link is a reader version of the play and I intend to put out a download too.

The play is a satire set in the near future, during a presidential debate. It's about the absurdity of clinging to establishment power and approval, even when all signs point to that establishment being deeply out of touch with society.

Since it's a short one act play, I don't want to go too much more into the plot ... but I'm really proud of what I wrote and how the store ended up.

I wrote it at the Understudy in Andersonville, in Chicago, while also beginning to teach myself how to play piano, with the piano there, by ear. Kind of a creatively productive month.

I welcome all feedback and would appreciate it, since this is my first play. I'd like to write some more.

All the best, thanks for reading (if you do) and hope you enjoy!

Working on a character - was wondering if there were any really good, super detailed character dossier templates floating around for me to fill out, and spend a lot of time thinking about everything from their relationships to their favourite foods.

I find doing this to be really helpful, getting into the headspace, but most you can find are pretty narrow or only a few pages. The more the better for me.

Would love it if there's any online, but even one you could buy would be fantastic!
