He's just fiction for now but soon he'll be springing to his feet bouncing off my Apple screen... leaping from my Final Draft program, and -- he'll start to scream his dialogue at me...                                  (PROTAGONIST) ****** hell barefoot Mary Joseph n' John what n' the limey beans took you so long---- What?! All to give me a **** voice?! You haven't even given me a choice - mate! Come on...come on..hurry up we've got one heck of a writing date! I've been locked up in here - like forever--- all up inside your brain... while you were...What?! trying to come up with a title n' What?! My **** name!" I'll have to answer him...                                      (ME) "I know, I know -- I'm slow... it's just this whole time                    (a beat) I was carefully crafting your backstory I wanted to give some obstacles give you some powers n' incredible force so you'd have a way to chart your course... then rise like Hercules or Thor - you know to give you some kind of wonderful glory I wanted to give you a fantastic story!" I was... In Search of ________All of The Above Last but not least... I wanted you to fall in Love."                                  (PROTAGONIST) Is that why you've got me all dressed up like I'm going to ****** church? Man, these shoes make me feel like Lurch...                                 (ME) Wait! Did I just hear you say feel?                                 (PROTAGONIST) Yeah, like -- duh! Don't you know .... you've just made me real?
