Very nice work on the Character Stage. I know it took a little longer than originally planned but I think we have some very interesting and dynamic characters to work with. The next stage is the Plot Stage. Take the characters we have created and have them interact. Create conflict. Where do we want this band to go? Create a plot for our story. Remember this is a series not a film, so our story needs to be able to evolve and last over many events. Try to think of the shows you like to watch. What makes you tune back into these shows every week? Try to incorporate the same qualities into this project. Good luck, have fun. I can’t wait to read what you come up with next.
