I am an actor acting in a weekly telenovela. I have been acting since I was 10 years old.
I have a job at a fast food restaurant. I work at McDonald's. I have iguanas. My iguanas' names are Stacia and Max. I like to make arts and crafts as a hobby.
I heard Max died this week - he got out of the house and was run over by a car. Max was always a free spirit I wish I would have noticed sooner that he got loose. I think I'm more broken up about it than Stacia is though. I'm so sorry to hear, at least he died doing what he loved, being free Do iguanas show much emotion maybe you can't see Stacia's emotions? Were they life partners?  She definitely has emotions but they're really muted and not quite what you expect. Reptiles just seem to behave differently than people or mammals. She was around Max her whole life though so I'm sure this is at least different and hard for her. Yes to suddenly be alone would be shocking. Maybe I should suggest this story to the telenovela I act in. I could get hit by a car then my partner won't show emotion and the I could come back from and the dead and be like "you were just with me for my money"  It would make for a good drama. Your partner thinks your dead but doesn't act appropriately. There could be a twist that she was the one who had you hit with the car or that she was genuinely upset but tried to repress her emotions leading to a critical misunderstanding. Wow you should write the script, I might be able to get you a job as a writer then. A step up from fast food I'd say. Also another great story from rags to slightly nicer rags, writers aren't rich.  You think they would be since they're a core reason why movies, shows, and plays are so interesting. I've never wrote a script before but I do like writing. It'd certainly beat flipping burgers. Well yes they write it but they don't spend hours and days and years bring the beloved character to life for you to love and be emotionally attached to. That's my job but you are smart and also crafty and I think that leads itself to writing. There are also plenty of free tutorials online for formatting.    I don't mean to downplay the actors by any means. It's a demanding job for sure, but the writer is responsible for the personalities that you portray that makes the audience love the character and they write the plays that you act out to keep the audience engaged. A good play definitely has need for both. I might look into those tutorials to see if I have a knack for it ... my current job is going nowhere fast. Haha fast food not going anywhere fast. Great jokes already. Get me that script next week and I'll turn it in. All the characters are well establish and since you watch the show it shouldn't be hard to find the right words.  I guess I'll try to start writing when I have the time. Feels kind of bad I might try and profit off poor Max's death though.
