These are so wonderful

Thank you!

These are fantastic! I had just watched part 1, which, of course, led me to part 2. I'm very much a novice at playwriting, and I often get stuck by simply second-guessing myself and thinking too much about it before getting it down on "paper." Do you have a transcript of these playwriting videos?

[@ApexDramaTools]

No transcript I'm afraid, but every video is subtitled so feel free to scribble and notate away!

[@butterflymoon6368]

Interesting. So here's my thing. Can you only write the play from a position of asking questions? What if you don't have questions but instead you have opinions? What if you already know what you feel/think? Is this a bad place to write a play from?
