Writing a play.

I thought writing our own play would be easy, like writing a short story, or recording your conversation with someone. I was wrong! Writing our own play is way harder than I thought it would be. My teammates and I had been thinking of a plot, a theme, and an issue to write about ever since our lecturer gave out the course outline, but when we finally got together to start writing, it was really stressful. Getting the characters to work, getting the plot in order, trying to figure out what the characters are supposed to say and feel, and getting the theme in there. It was really a mind challenging experience. All that mental torture did not go to waste though. My team and I finally got our work together after 3 agonizing weeks. The first draft is still very much just the essence of what we want to show. Hopefully with guidance from our lecturer, the play can be improved.
