Subject: Re: Song Scripts


I would like any of these suggestions. I'm not much good at the short
sonnet or light verse. O, I've written some in my day, but find my muse
more with plot, an epic: such as Homer or, er, Star Wars. As Homer did it,
one of his performances would only be a part of his larger epic. That
chapter could really be enjoyed on its own, so I'm not saying I have a
Stephen King novel, but rather a lyrical story set in parts. Ah, well it
ain't exactly Star Wars either; O, there is a short little frazzled fellow
in it with big ears and huge eyes always lecturing about the forces of his
magic and all, but he's a gnome.

Have worked out my epic mostly, and have a unique form to it. Yet I do not
relish the idea of performing any of it, other than playing the type of
instrument in the section I need, managing emotes and some physical
activities on my part to add to the action of the story, etc. It's just too
much if I have to be constantly typing as well. So I'll probably never
perform it. My epic, I can't be standing still in one place typing and
singing and gazing to the heavens, like Whitney Houston and a howling
ballad... I'd need to rely on many other things to keep the audience
enthralled with the story, more akin to Mick Jagger running back and forth
and jumping around like a loon.

I suppose a macro program will not work with EQ, then. I've been searching,
yet no luck finding an external utility to help me with any of this. You
know, even considered joining the Soerbaird once, until I realized, alas,
the song in me just can't be sung.
