I structured the story this morning.
- Part One: On the Road
- Part Two: The Mission ... the Play ... the Death ... the Arrest
- Part Three: The Trial
- Part Four: Last Will & Testament
Roughly, the action moves this way: on the road, CJ meets Felicity Flowers (Flo), croan actress, veteran of SF Mime Troupe ... working on performance art to protest health care ... Kayla's suicide brings CJ back to Portland for services, Flo follows ... Matt and Flo hit it off, Matt the director loves her script, wants to use some of CJ's poems ... they decide on street theater mission, take show on road ... one of actors denied Death With Dignity help, despite terminal condition, gets drugs from Mexico and decides to die "live" during performance of play, this done at State Capitol, huge senior protest ... CJ, Flo and Matt arrested for murder ... the trial ... aftermath of trial. CJ's death? Probably.Many details to work out but overall flow feels good to me, layers and chaos within a solid structure.
I am raring to go! Why wait until summer?
