Great workshop, Siri is a great thinker so I was surprised when I heard her say that dialogue just comes to you. I agree, we have multiple voices in our mind but shaping dialogue and putting it into a play must be one of the toughest things. How useful is it to think that novels are written by young people and novels by older people? I honestly don't know. There are many many great novels but how many great plays do we have? I get it now, we all have hope! If we can't write that play we can always write a novel.

like grishams playing for pizza. there is an american playing football, he is a pro, ruins a game. his manager suggests the pro-player goes to italy for a while, to play football for an amateur club in bologna, so the american fans forget he ruined the game. american player flies to italy. discovers there a total different world, amateur football players financing themselves from their jobs, there is also a local sponsor, playing for joy for the game. etc or variant 2. that said football player ruins game, goes to locker room. while showering there he is abducted by a spaceship populated by alien amazons. who subject him to sexual orgies for the rest of the book. description of alien sexual practices and way of life. so which version of the story sounds more realistic?
