I quickly wrote a not-so-great monologue for my protagonist when she confronts the antagonist who wants to “cut her a deal.” I will be able to work with it and shape it to make it “sing” better. However, I was glad to see the subtext surfacing in her dialogue and feel this will be a great addition to the scene.

What I learned: A monologue such as this can be a wonderful enticement for an “A-list” actor. It isn’t only the words, but the placement of the monologue. It could be what introduces the main character, or a point of revelation (A Ha moment), or a powerful transition to the closure. It is a powerful tool.

What I learned: Strong character writing must have the character face obstacles, make changes and sometimes be prepared to shift gears quickly. Can the character do this or not, and face the consequences of a possible poor decision? Life without regrets in a Blessed life.
