Updates! And good ones!
Copied from my Tumblr because I am constantly forgetting about this poor website. I didn't want to just link you to my tumblr and forget about this for the next six months again, lol.

Followers may know my constant issues with trying to get folks to read my prose writing, but I am also a struggling SCRIPT WRITER!
So recently, I sent a theater script prologue and my concept art to one of my theater friends.
1) He loves it, especially the concept art! My constant problem of getting distracted with character sketches, costume design, and “IF THE OFFICIAL POSTER LOOKS LIKE THIS, IT WOULD BE SICK!” has worked out in my favor!
2) There are a LOT of characters if we want to do live theater. He counted a bit over forty names in the prologue alone, lol. I may need to turn this into an episodic/TV format instead, especially since I love pulling out the trope of “seemingly minor character IS NOT MINOR AFTER ALL, BITCHES!!!” and I was planning on rolling in a side-character from the prologue.
3) While I am rushing to finally finish a script that barely got touched in two years, there is now a second gay couple (a Mexican/Mayan weather mage and the Filipino North Wind). I want to balance this out with gay women of color, but since this is a superhero/gangster deconstruction piece, it’s VERY male-heavy. I may just have to make companion-pieces or, if this actually takes off, let the fanfic authors handle it.
4) He loved the mythology because this is heavily on the magical end of superhero stories. I was hoping he would, because we’re both Filipino and I’m pulling in Tagalog mythology, but I’m just so happy that being a mythology/folklore nerd has finally paid off.
