The last Tweep has Twittered. We've said our farewells, & promised to meet again if the opportunity arises, just like real people would do. It's been an absolute blast being part of the RFM Twitter Play. We've had great support & much well-wishing along the way, which always helps.
Next step is to listen to the play on radio after editing (shuffling of Tweets rather than deleting words), casting, then actors through to radio waves and on to the listener.
Can't Wait!

Countdown - Twitter Play - Four Days Left
I was thinking today about the image I had of Francine Harpur before I started writing her character. I didn't know her name before I got the gig, but knew the short character bio.
I had a picture in my mind, what she loked like, how she would 'speak' but it wasn't until I started writing her that her character evolved into something else. Of course, because she's responding to the other five characters, this has played a part in shaping her.
She felt posh, a bit removed from normal life (whatever normal is) but, compassionate, generous, materialistic, dotty, living in her big house in Islington, surrounded by all the trappings, by the world of Fragrance Design, by expensive bottles of champagne.
And, of course, she had to have conflict somewhere in her life, and the main source of conflict is Florrie (love that name - will call my new pup that when I get her).
The whole thing feels like a tragicomedy, and it'll be very interesting to see what comes out of it and what it's shaped into.

Five Days Left To Tweet
It's going so quickly! I can hardly believe we started Tweeting for the Twitter play, seven days ago. I think we're all really into character now. Strangely, it's become quite easy to rattle off fragharpy's thoughts & dreams & lifestyle. Or maybe I should say worryingly!!
Whatever, it's a unique experience for me, & one that I would glady repeat if ever I got the chance.

Tweet Play - Day Five
It's been a roller-coaster five days! One week to go. The characters are such an eclectic mix that if we were 'REAL' people, I'm not sure we'd click the 'FOLLOW' button to become better acquainted.
I feel that my character, fragharpy, indomitable spirit that she is, is becoming ever so slightly less zestful. And there are two reasons for this. The first reason is that she, like the other five characters, only Follows five Tweeters. They're not all as bouncy & brimming with good fortune as our fragharpy. Nay, could she allow herself to become a little disillusioned?
The second reason she may be distancing herself from some of the characters is because she can't deal with/doesn't understand their bluntness, or lack of frivolity, apart from the dead one, Sidebird, who's having a ball on the other side. It'll be interesting to see how we all develop during the coming week.

Twittering Heck - Third Day
I work during the day apart from Mondays, and I've all next week off, on annual leave...YEAH! So...I've come straight home from work & donned the flighty Francine's (fragharpy's) skin for yet another evening's Twitterooo. Surprising how easy it is to get straight into character, especially as all the other characters are interacting & helping shape one another. I like when they ask the RIGHT kind of questions!

Tweeting - Twitter Play Second Day
I think things are shaping up...characters are coming to life in Real Time. It's strange, it's weird, but it's quite exhilarating. You can see that people are thinking on their feet, they're having to.
Mini sub-plots are forming, Spidery tangents are webbing together in intricate formation. There's also a lot of random stuff, and that's the way Twitter works.
So far, I'm loving it...

Twitter News - I Play Character B!
After two weeks of nonsensical Tweeting on Twitter, I'm pleased & proud to say that I'm one of the chosen writers to write the part of Francine Harpur, a London based fragrance designer & freelance 'nose'. Lasting for two weeks, it all kicked off today, & so far it's going really well. I find myself 'being' this character & have imagined Lisa Goddard's character (remember the lovely Lisa?) in ITV's 'Yes Honestly' to be quite similar to Francine.
Follow my updates if you like: see the 'Follow Me' link under fragharpy on this Blog sidebar. I'm also on Twitter as my 'real' ID, Antoniablue, but have suspended the 'Follow' tag on this name for now.
It's going to be fun, a blast, a real experience.
Will update about its progress by the day.
