Well, so far so good. The first chapter is done, more or less. The project is going better than expected, although I haven’t necessarily kept my promise to write something every day. But so far the story is progressing rather nicely. We have the main characters, a setting of sorts, (will have to re-write that one, anybody have a good idea for a town name in England’s west country?) and the beginning of a solid plot. Like I said before, this is a work in progress, but I like what I done so far.My first problem was that the story started rather gloomy, with talk of death, family strife and inheritances, but I hope that I have liven the mood a bit. If anything story is more of a comedy than a dark depressing drama, which means I will have to inject a bit more humor in the first few post, just to balance the dreary opening. Hopefully Chapter 2 will be more amusing than Chapter 1.But their are a few things missing. I envision this as a web novel/movie script of sorts so it needs music and a cast. I already thought of a few well known actors that could (eventually if ever) play some of the roles:Cast (so far)Simon Pegg as Charles/CharliePaul Bettany as the young VicarNick Frost as James/Jimmy (You can’t have Simon without Nick)Rupert Grint as CharlieEmma Watson as MichelleBilly Piper as Cristina (tentatively)Michelle Ryan (maybe) as Patty although Billy and Michelle could switch, if Michelle doesn’t wear anything like this! Not that I mind of course! Thats an overview of what I see when I write about certain characters. But a movie needs a soundtrack as well so I made a short list of songs I thought would set the mood. Here is a short list of the songs so far:The Decemberist-SummersongReidnoise-Nice Voyage to NowhereMassive Attack-Two Rocks and a Cup of WaterPropellerheads-History RepeatingU2- Sweetest ThingSo that is it, for far, but more is to come in the upcoming days. Thank you all for your support!
