I'm not sick, therefore I can't write musicals...
So, my only issue with the musical right now is...well, I can't think of any songs to write.
Which is odd, because I usually have a bunch of them stuck in my head until I get them down...
But I think I may know why I'm having this problem... You see, I used to only write musicals when I wasn't feeling well. If I stayed home because I was sick, or felt a little under the weather, I would start writing musicals, or finishing ones I started before when I was sick. I always found it odd, because I could always tell if I was about to be sick because I'd come up with a good idea for a musical, or start thinking of a song to write.
Eventually, I broke out of it, because I needed to write one while I wasn't sick, so now I write them whenever I want. But right now, I'm having issues thinking of songs to write for the Once-ler musical. The script is coming along just fine, and I have a few places already where a good song would come in nicely, but I've got nothing to put there!
...anyone have any ideas? Or am I just kidding myself with all this?
At this rate, I might as well just keep it as a stageplay. Maybe I'll come up with song ideas later and add them in...but right now, I've got absolutely nothing.
And The Once-ler's Mom, Aunt, and Uncle have the strangest dialogue. I have to actually STUDY southern accents (which I happen to dislike, but it's all worth it in the end, right?) in order to write the dialogue correctly. It's difficult, being from The Heartland and all, but I'm getting through it.
Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. Maybe, if I come up with some songs to write, I'll compose them up and ask some of the people in the Once-ler fandom to sing them for me. (I'm a tenor, so I REALLY shouldn't sing my own songs!)
I'll let you know!
