A) Because I had to reach my #EndofPlay goal (which I did, so that's cool). And,
B) The world has been imploding so I couldn't really think of much else.
But, as I said before I have been occupying my time with my latest script writing project: Butterflies.
And, I've gotta say, this project is quickly making it's way onto my favorites list.
I wrote the final page yesterday at...7:30? I think?
Which means I get to do rewrites and I get to share character tidbits with you.
And that's also my favorite.
Not gonna lie, this protagonist was one of the easiest I've ever had to develop.
Liam is an ex-con who is caught in the crossfire(literally) between regular citizens of the city he grew up in, and the Organization, which is the government entity currently in charge.
He is a Dark Horse(because duh) and he's got a snarky attitude and a sarcastic streak that I love! And he broods, which makes this little romantic swoon so much!
He is also running--literally--for his life. See "caught in the crossfire" above.
Can you spell H-I-G-H-S-T-A-K-E-S?
The other cool thing about Liam is that one of his models is a good friend of mine who has the snarky sarcastic attitude that I gave to Liam and--if I'm being really honest--he looks like a stereotypical Dark Horse, so go figure.
I'm not gonna share his image, though, cause I don't pull images from social media. I'm just not that person.
I will, however, show you the celebrity model I have in my head.
Ed Skrein.
Otherwise known as the first Daario in GOT, Ajax in Deadpool, and (my personal current favorite) Dick Best from "Midway"(I love this film. If you haven't seen it, then see it; and if you hate it after...we'll talk).
Dark Horse.
Brooding.
Snarky.
Sarcastic.
Check, check, check. check.
Ok, he's played roles that do all these things, which recommends him to my romantic little head.
Plus, he's a Brit. And you know how I feel about men who talk with accents.
