only someone obsessed with his own works would realize something like this, let alone blog it

For no reason other than I like to make lists in my head, I just now thought about all the girl characters I've ever named in all my scripts from the beginning. Here's that list (lead roles are in bold)...
  • Audrey
  • (unnamed dream girl)
  • Emily
  • Anna
  • Anura
  • Alex
  • (unnamed girl in bath)
  • Annie
  • Gina
  • Ally*
Anybody see a trend?

But the good news is, the girl in the short script I'm working on right now (Minus) is named Bea. I've evolved as a writer. Finally. At this rate, I will be able to write stories about Zoë and Zelda in just about 75 to 100 years.

* Ally is the "main girl" in the feature script, but since she fit the pattern I included her on the above list. To be fair, The World of Missing Persons has Chia and Tressa, so the pattern's already fading. But still.

ego, iceninefilms, the world of missing persons, ellipsis, writingland, busker, list
