Where did August Go?

Holy crap, I know not too many people read this blog, so there’s my excuse for not posting more…but jeez, August went by in a flash and now September is half gone too.

However there have been a lot of improvements, despite the fact that the goal posts keep moving.

Just today, Tiffany dropped the idea that Jayne could lose a baby due to the car accident. That could require Jayne to face an intriguing moral decision as to whether she tell Brad.

In the last week or so, we decided to start the story with Lou in prison reading the bible and have Sneaky Pete spark a flashback by asking “How the hell did the best umpire in baseball wind up here?”

Along the way, we also brought Pete Rose into the story and gave Joe Garagiola a few lines as well, so the initial meeting between Lou, the Commissioner, Sheila, Pete, Yogi, and Joe is a little more interesting. In fact, this scene could be elaborated on a lot more in future releases!

But for now, we’re just racing to get the first few chapters up on YouTube, while we struggle with the character’s traits. Recently I asked a few team members to choose a nine traits for each character, from a list of 638.

Five people participated in the exercise.

Here is the final list. 

Lou (positive): Masculine, Aspiring, Extraordinary

Lou (neutral): Determined, Proud, Stubborn

Lou (negative): Self Indulgent, Egocentric, Regretful

 

Brad (positive): Far Sighted, Systematic, Deep

Brad (neutral): Ambitious, Determined, Skeptical

Brad (negative): Tense, Reactionary, Crafty

 

Jayne (positive): Fun Loving, Romantic, Athletic

Jayne (neutral): High Spirited, Pure, Absent Minded

Jayne (negative): Impractical, Impulsive, Quirky
