Told you. :)
It's been over two years that I've been writing Fire and Ice. It took me the first two-thirds of the time to write the first one-third of the script, but then I thankfully found my groove, and since the spring it's felt like I could finish this year. So I did. Including rewrite.
It's 128 pages, about two and a half hours runtime. Nineteen songs, well over an hour of music even before an overture or whatever. Sometimes people have expressed amazement about one person writing the music, lyrics, and libretto, whereas to me it's not amazing, merely a lot of work; what boggles my mind is the idea of trying to mesh talents between multiple people to produce things. (Unsurprisingly, I'm having a hell of a time getting this bugger arranged.)
Congratulate me, people. This was the longest, most intentional, epic, demanding thing I've ever written. I believed that Never After was good, and many hundreds of people apparently agreed. I'm telling you that this is better. It may not necessarily be to your tastes, but it is a damn fine work.
