First Draft

Hey all! It sure has been a while. But all good things come to those who wait right? And something good did just come to us this past weekend. Like Matt had mentioned, his genius friend Andrew has decided to tag along our crazy adventure to write our own adaptation of Medea!! We got the first 12 pages and we can't wait to read the rest.

Within these first 12 pages, the differentiation between what Medea and Jason want is clearly established. I like the way Matt explained it to me on Sunday, that Medea is so emotionally invested that that is were the anger and disappointment stems from. To hear of the horrible things Medea did for Jason and how much guilt is pent up inside of her is something that really intrigues me. There is a bit on the fourth or fifth page that is my favorite about how they are remembering the same event but both in different details. Medea's description is awesome. I also really enjoy the different processes of thought to thought that happen in these 12 pages alone! It seems as though their minds have short circuits and are wired strangely. They, for some reason, can't seem to think just about one topic at a time; their mind is constantly skipping to the next thing. I think that provides a challenge that I would be more than willing to take up. 

I also really like Anceas! I can't wait to work with him as a character. It's so great how calm he is and how extreme Medea and Jason are.

Just a few thoughts :]

excited for the rest of this!!
