Question: Monologue I wrote!?
I've never written one before, so I don't know if there's a form or something to go by, but I thought I'd just give it a shot!. Here goes:

They say to write about what you know!.
And when I sat to think about what I knew…
I realized I knew nothing!.

I mean, I’m not stupid, I can add, subtract, and tell you how to get downtown!.
But I mean things that are more important!.
How to handle myself when someone insults someone I love!.
How to cope with the baggage!.
How to find a pair of jeans that fit!.

When you’re a kid, excuse me, “teen”, for some reason, you think you know everything!.
How to survive without Mommy and Daddy!.
And when they give you just a taste, to see what it’s like with a little responsibility,
It’s a real wake-up call!.

What do you think!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It seems to be a start!. It seems like you're building up to a statement like "But nobody tells you things like 'Rice doubles when it's cooked' or 'in life, spelling counts' or 'unless you're a size 2, your jeans are never going to fit!.'"

It also seems l;ike what you're "missing" comes between the jeans comment and your "when you're a kid" comment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think you are intelligent, thoughtful, insightful, honest, eager, vibrant, inquiring, able to laugh at yourself, and totally charming!. I could continue, but I don't want to give you a swelled head!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well!.!.!.!. Its good and all but I've heard it before!. Not the exact words, but the idea has been done mulitple times!. I would try something more original!. also, never start anything with that first line!. It is cliche, meaning overused!. I hope I helped!. Sorry if I seemed harse!. Keep trying but keep the things I said in mind!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
