Hello All,
Composing music and writing lyrics comes fairly easily to me, yet as a writer of dialogue I am lacking. Also, I find that as I get further into writing this musical comedy I realize that there is so much more to learn. This is after having many times where I thought to myself, "Hey, I'm almost finished!", but then I realized that what I had previously was just the skeleton of the play but it was not fleshed out. I've hit a serious of brick walls with certain parts of the play and in other areas I have polished the play to a high sheen. What has really helped me is that I've put my play up on a wiki but I haven't made it available to the public since it's still in a draft form and also I'd rather that random people would not destroy my work of the past 7 years.
By the way, I will ellaborate later about what the play is about and what my specific problems are...
If I gain your trust as a mentor, I will allow you to see the wiki website. Also, would prefer to work on-line. I don't do as well on the phone but once again, if we gain each other's trust, we could communicate over the phone. Please let me know what you think!
-Nat

I also wanted to mention some of the other issues that have come up in the process of writing this play:
- What to leave in and leave out of the play (both from my imagination and real life)
- Trying to satirize subject matter that could be taken as offensive
- When to and when not to introduce new ideas into the play
- When to depict a scene with dialogue, or with music
