Some Dialogue ... and a logic.

Some resistance weakened yesterday and in the last 24 hours I have written ...

for real.

Just started writing as the mentor said. "Start the conversation and see where it leads."

So as of 1800 Tuesday 26Jan I have eight pages of dialogue.

And a two act play concept. The first act consists so far of five short (one to two minutes) scenes of alternating dialogue monologue illustrating brief scenarios in Mom’s Alzheimer’s haze and what might have been her personal reflections on these. This scene is intended to immerse the characters - and the audience - in the haze immediately. There may a sense of chronology in our understanding of some issues – but not necessarily in time progressing.

Act two (maybe act two and three) is four scenes two of which take place early on and two near the end of mom’s life. This Act is meant to be chronological.

Alice Munro is conspicuously absent from this first draft.
