Something is wrong with my titles. I hope it will go away next post.
Real title:
Lesson learned.


So.
Today Mr E basically slapped me in the face. Not in the literal sense, of course and he had all the right and meaning in the world too. But I still feel like a goober for it. It went down like this: I had written my Dinky little monologue and then he wanted to see it. I played it out but I wasn't really in character. Once I finished he asked me 'what does your character want'
It was like I was on a homemade rowing boat in the middle of the ocean and a passing dolphin of friendly intent asked me why I had a giant hole in it. Doh! So we soon figured out that i forgot to follow Stanislavsky's system and raced off and tried to attack the task directly. Sorta like abseiling with a piece of string.

Lesson learned:
1. I'm a blundering troll when it comes to writing for drama, I run, but in straight lines at the task at hand. It is year 7 English all over again.
2. The System has merits and use. I both crashed and burned because I didn't follow it.

Now I know I said I would write on the system but considering recent revelations I think I do not understand it sufficiently.
