burqueboy
Daily Writing Goal: 1 scene or monologue
Monthly Writing Goal: I’ve now published 2 volumes of short scenes before I noticed that the BIASC (Book Industry Standards and Communications) code I selected for those collections was “Performing arts / Monologues and Scenes.” And here I was with two books of scenes and nary a monologue to be seen. I’m going to be undertaking a similar play-a-day challenge that I had been undertaking the past several years in October, but with a preference for one-voice dramatic monologues this time around. And I’ll be keeping my first drafts up for a few days on my blog.
