The problem with Woman


Woman- The play that's killing me softly
So me being all ambitious and such decided that I was going to write a play based on the Lysistrata and have it done by January.
What was I thinking?
I'm writing this play and am constantly thinking it's not good enough. I'm not exploring the characters enough. I don't have enough songs. The characters are flat and not getting the breadth and dimension they so deserve.
That being said, I can't stop writing it otherwise I'll be labeled a quitter by... Myself. And that's just not cool...
Is it?
Oh please tell me it's cool to quit. That would be AWESOME.

I mean, I got this.
One play coming right up.
Hope my leading lady can memorize lines like no ones business...

Don't quit, sweetheart! Lysistrata is an awesome play and deserves a more modern revival. It's pretty well hilarity and general awesoneness all rolled in to one, and YOU're the man to rewrite it.

(I'm writing a play for Creative Writing Drama that is going incredibly slowly, and playwriting's one of the only things that's been on my mind lately, so let me know if you want a proofread/humble critique etc)

Love and Hugs,
