Ugh. I'm so behind on NaNo, it's disgusting. I can kind of explain why it's been taking me so long, though. I've got 5 pages of segments for Chapter 43 and I realized this chapter is going to be extremely significant. Like, the very heart of the story, probably.
I've made an outline, written quotes, plan to use like all of them, it's just a matter of finding the right mood. I actually went to the dock on Tuesday night in my Robert-Phantom get-up except for his hat and just spent the time being "Erik". It was very intriguing. The sky was beautiful. It inspired a nice fitting setting that actually emphasizes an idea I wanted to express in the next installment.
But yeah... no chapter yet. I hope that it comes tomorrow. I tried doing it tonight but I failed. And instead of doing any movie or book appreciation, I realized this Autumn/Winter is probably going to be musical appreciation! Oddly enough, I never dove into it as much as I should have. I just stuck safely next to Crawford and ignored everyone else. But it's actually really interesting seeing how different people pull off this same role, time and time again. It makes a world of difference - it's like if someone came in and did Robert Englund's role in his movie... you'd have another movie.
I can almost see why people go and see Phantom like 287 times until they're middle-aged and still love it. You build up this wonderfully complicated, intimate knowledge of how the characters could behave... aghgh! ♥ The scene on the roof when Erik is on the angel statue - he sings, cries, yells, and laughs maniacally (so much opportunity to put in your own flavor!) I'll have to upload some clips I particularly like some time.
As you can sorta tell, the musical's the only thing that's been on my mind all week. I even drew the charming German phantom I posted about in the last entry while in Astronomy class, whom![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
giannamon has, tonight, named "Nazi Phantom". (Jesus Chriiist. XD)
....sighhhhhhh. For some reason I'm stuck on him even though I don't know who plays him. I listen to him on my ipod while I'm drifting off! The way he whispers to Christine at the end of MOTN is just precious.
I don't know what else to say except I'm trying, and the musical is making me incredibly aroused. lmao There will probably be mild sexual content in Chapter 43.
