Long Term Work Reflection:

I am very proud of the work that I have done with my long term piece of work, a play titled “A Bad Error”, which is about three baseball players who are members of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, one of whom falls into debt with the wrong person and coerces his teammates to help him out of this dire situation by any means necessary.  I am currently finishing the latter part of the play, where the three baseball players, Andy, Brian, and Alex, break into the head of the Italian mafia’s Beverly Hills mansion and attempt to force him to relieve Andy of his mounting debts to him. 

For me, the biggest difficulty of the play was writing the dialogue to the point where it was not too “corny”, as there I utilize sarcasm throughout my play.  I wanted to make sure that my dialogue was funny and sarcastic, all the while not sacrificing the so-called integrity of my play and its dialogue.  My biggest triumph during the process of writing my play was coming up with a complex storyline and characters, both of which are essential toward coming out with a polished product at the end of the writing process.   I am very proud of what I have written and look forward to finishing this play tomorrow and maybe on the on the first day back from spring break.

When I do get back from break, I want to focus more on composing poetry, just as I did first semester as compared to this third quarter, and also want to experiment with other writing genres, such as six word memoirs, haikus, and a variety of others.
