Hey!.!.!. ok, I read it!. Very funny!. Very cute!.!.!.!. It's hard to coach you when I have no idea what you bring to this already just naturally on your own!. But, my first thoughts:
She's admitting that she's a quitter, right!? That she can't ever stay with something or someone!. !. !. she gets bored and bails out!. Seems like she's in a therapy group!.!.!. just admitting and figuring it all out for herself at the same time!. There's a lot of discovery here!.!.!. and truth!. take your time!. Make a "movie" for yourself of each situation she is referring to!. What has she quit!? Why is she having to deal with it now!? Can you substitute something in your life that you just can't hang with!? A relationship!? A sport!? Even a friendship!? Do you know what it means to be obsessive/compulsive!? I think if you get very specific with her!.!.!. maybe she is finally at this group in hopes of getting better!.!.!. and looking for answers!. It's an OCD support group, and she needs to get through this to get better! Make the stakes high!.!.!. she needs to say this, to share this so she can stop it!

Okay really weird but I went via the link but couldn't read it!. Dunno why!. Anyway!.!.!.!.!. have you read the play!? Have you read any reviews of the play!? Have you seen it!?
You need to read the play!. Relax don't fret too much or it will hinder what you are doing!. Think about what has happened to her and how she has got to where she is right now!. What are her relationships with others!?
This is most likely in the monologue you just have to find it!. When you have thought about these things, think about how you can relate to her situation and whether anything in your life is similar or in someone else's life if you haven't experience it!. Think about how they may feel or felt!. write these down if you need to!.
When you are learning the monologue you want it to sound like it is coming from you, this will happen if you truly understand or can empathize with the character and allow you to "become"them!. I hope this makes sense!. It is hard without seeing the monologue!. Just relax take a couple of deep breaths and JUST DO IT! Don't wiat for too many answers and I hope this helped!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
