The Characters

Orginally, I was going to name the three main characters Ruin, Kaite, and Samoa. Just because I like the names. But everybody would think it was code. So they were out.

Besides that, my friend has forever ruined the meaning of S'mo. But it was still the best name ever.

So now the characters are Jordan, Ani, and Cassidy. (Not necisarily in the same order as above.) And though I orignially based a certain character's role on my life, I realate much better to a different one. (Ten points and a cookie if you can guess which two correctly.)

Jordan is kind of set in her ways. She hates the nearby villigers because they kill her tribesmates because they are different. Not in appearance, but inside.

Ani is Jordan's life mate. She's very motherly. Although devestated after the death of her and Jordan's daughter, she quickly adopts a baby who was outcasted from the villiage because of a birthmark.

Cassidy is a woman who lives in the villiage. She pretends to be the same as everybody else until she meets Jordan. Then, realizing that they are the same inside, she strives to become just like her role model.

Another importaint character is Patrick, Ani's adopted son. He has a rough childhood, being exiled at a young age by Jordan because he was acting like a villiager. As he grows older, he tries to earn Jordan's approval but continually fails until the two end up in the villiage together and learn very importaint life lessons.

While Jordan runs around after all the cute girls.

An Untitled Musical

As of this moment, I have finished scene one to the musical I'm working on.

I like to describe it as being a tender story about cheating.

Which is true, except maybe the tender part. Does that mean it makes you cry? But it's not really about bad cheating. It's more like ...

Moving on with your life. Finding true happiness. Finding your "one true place" (thanks, Lilo, for burning that into my brain). Accepting people. Changing. Staying the same.

That's really the biggest thing. It's about how there are certain things you can't change about yourself. You can hide them, repress them, but it doesn't change.

But it's not like love the sinner hate the sin. It's all just hate the sinner. Beat him up, kill him.


But the first scene is suspiciously similar to Tarzan. In fact, all the music is going to be from the musical. I have this theory that you can tell a completely different stories with the same music. I am attempting to prove it. Besides music, a musical is full of dialogue. Which is the only thing I'm good at. Right Kate??
