the smell of canadian rain

A place to share your voices with janis so she can write them into a new play. What does Canadian rain smell like? Stars, apparently.

that means help, something i'm finally admitting i need. i've been staring at my notebook and my computer screen all week now putting bits of scenes together and pulling them apart and i can't seem to find the thread for the play, at least not the thread i need to get me writing in a forward direction instead of in these constant cirlces. so, seeing as how this play is inspired by you i thought you'd be a good place to turn.

where do you think the thread is? what are you most interested in that has already been written? who are you most interested in? what would you like to see happen? what would you like to see explored? dream with me for a moment.

if you had to give a synopsis of the play, what would it be? what's the action? the conflict? the main question being asked? make it up.

when you log onto this blog each time, what are you hoping to see here?

when I log onto here Im hoping to see that you've portrayed a teenage life accuratley. That maybe we can help you to catch the real emotion of our lives and everything that gpes on. Although everyone says these are the funnest years, they are, but they're also the hardest becuse we have to decide who we are and who we want to be and alot of things happen to us in that time to shape us.

I think the thread of this play is bonds. For some people thats the only thing that keeps us around and it seems like the major theme so far is bonding. Whether that be with friends, with themselves, or with the stars, it effects them all in some way. It could be a physical bond or attraction, the beggining of a reationship, the formation of friendship or simply the bonds being broken and destroyed.

help at all?

i personally like the random connections that are made.
like that characters are connected but not really.
like i dont know how to explain it.
being a part of their lives but not.
like say if two characters pass by eachother on the street.
and one really affects the other and cahnges them and you knwo just has a big impact on them.
but the other is completely oblivious to the first.
and just goes about their life totally unaffected.
if that makes any sense and you guys got any of that?.
on another note.
i really like acadia and anthonys characters.
and i would like to see a connection between the two somehow.
maybe if acadia or anthonys place of origin were the same?.
i dont know.
i just really like both of their characters and somehow think they fit together totally.
i want to see more random connections and yea i cant remember where else i was going.
i had something but i lost it.
so maybe itll come back to me but im guessing probably not cause im like that.
anywhooooo.
hope you understood at least half of that.

oh it doesnt weird me out at all haha. I was just really interested because I was in the same position as you for nearly 2 years less then 6 months ago but we handled it differently and it was interesting to see another opinion =) I do agree though. Well all log on here hpping to confide in someone elses struggles knowing we're not alone. It's amazing how many people have been in the same situation but never known someone is going through the exact same thing.

ah, sorry. i'm here. i've been writing and thinking and getting lost there which is why i haven't been posting much. yes, what you said helps. pretty much anything you guys say helps because it reminds me that i'm not at all writing into a void, which is really awesome because usually that's how writing feels.

the best help right now is with specifics and thanks so much for them.

i'll have something for you soon so you all can have more substance to give specific responses to.

i don't know what's up with that. it asks me to upgrade to the new version of blogger and i deny it also, but the old one still functions the same way for me. are you on a new computer? as in, Vista instead of Windows XP? that's the only thing i can think of. at least you're still getting here though...

i had (i think) the same problem. when you get to the main page after you log in, click on the button that says "mangage posts" in the bottom right corner. this should bring you to the page you're looking for.
