1) Originally I wrote it as a dialogue, with the artist literally talking to a manifestation of himself in his brain. This is the laziest way to write a monologue and left me in danger of being predictable, with a lack of subtext.
2) I must condense, remember that realistic dialogue is not cinematic. DOn't repeat myself.
I feel optimistic. The more I write, the better I'll get. I'll keep McKee's 'Dialogue' close to hand at all times.
In researching this, I watched Olivier's 'Hamlet' and 'A Streetcar Named Desire'. Blanche Dubois falls under the same archetype in the enneagram as my own character, and I wanted to see how her conflicted manifested itself onscreen.
