Mystery Festival Play
So, I've finished my play for the Mystery Festival.
It's been an interesting experience: my first attempt at a play, and my first attempt at writing something to quite a restrictive set of guidelines. I think I've decided I'd very much prefer to stick to prose, in general - dialogue comes complete with tagging in my mind, and it's very difficult to refrain from putting in the surroundings to whatever I manage to make people say.
The hardest thing's been ending it. I'm very particular about my endings, and usually they're just what I want because I rewrite them enough times that they're perfect - but this one's been pretty much devoid of inspiration.
In any case, I've finished. I promised a few people I'd send it when I was done - is anyone still interested?
