Monologue?

So I have this monologue I need to have memorized by tomorrow...yeah it's almost nine and I haven't even glanced at it yet tonight, let alone worked on blocking, or anything...Writing is just so much more fun than acting. I love acting, but it isn't my passion, and so I do it only halfheartedly. That's probably not a good thing, but honestly I love English too much to want to focus on anything else but writing and people.
On the bright side I love my monologue, I'm working on one of Ren's from Footloose, and it's one of my favorite scenes. I criticized our lead in high school when he acted that scene out, but honestly it's a lot harder than I thought it would be. I'm really glad I'm not a theatre major right now, because I've realized I'm not a strong actor, I'm mediocre at best, and I don't mind it. As long as I keep progressing as a writer, I'm okay with whatever goes on.
Oh BTW, read "Hills Like White Elephants" today in English 2600, umm, it was really good, just in case you're after a story with lots of symbolism and all that.

  1. You read that, too? I just had to browse it before class...ugh, it's AP Lit all over again and I'm BORED in that class. X( But seriously, the writing thing? Awesome. I'm not sure if I've rediscovered my writing moxy yet. No time to check....
