the girl-character development

I play the girl in this character storyline wall story. Her name is Catelin. And she's from England. She's a performer. She sings, dances, and even does stand-up comedy. Due to a minor injury setback, she has added writing to her repertoire. She never made time to write. She's a busy lady. Too busy, traveling and studying abroad. She studied tap and jazz in New Orleans, and tango in Buenos Aires. She's explored cultural dances in Peru and Brazil. And when she travels, she also works. She's work in plays in Paris, stages in London, and Broadway in New York. Chorus lines, main acts, plays, movie sets, performances. Dancing is her true passion. She's good, real good. She's even taught a few dance classes here and there, although supplemental income, that's not where Her money is made. She's a Performer rather than a Teacher. And Morocco is her choice of stay at the present moment. She landed a position with flexible hours, flexibility to Her schedule. She can work when She wants, She calls the shots. She's 39, but looks 29. Well, maybe a little bit older. Her body, amazing. She's never had any children, I'm sure that is an affect on the way she looks now. She's kept good care of herself. Doesn't smoke. No drugs. Hardly drinks. Although she did drink heavy for about a year in New Orleans when she was tapping and jazzing. She likes the new Morocco atmosphere. She likes Bogie. And she likes to travel with Bogie. Bogie went to Greece without her, this time. That's okay. She has limited mobility right now. She was injured one night after a performance. She was reaching for a nice bottle of cabernet when the club was closing down for the night. The bartender was in the front, serving the last customers. She didn't want to bother the bartender, he was doing his closing duties at the same time and waiting on the last couple. Catelin went to the back where the wines were stored. Got on a ladder to reach a nice cabernet and lost her balance. She fell about 4 feet and landed on her right side. After the screams of horror, the bartender, Johanna, and Bogie came to her rescue. She fractured her pelvic bone and wrist. Laid up for 6 weeks. So she can't dance for a while. She can't do stand up for a while. Well, maybe sit down comedy might be her new thing now. She sings too. Not her strongest suit. She offers comedy with her singing. She's a bit out of tune, but she makes people laugh. She's completely tone death. It's interesting that she has rhythm and timing in dancing like no one else, but when it comes to singing, she can't catch a tune. So she sometimes throws her singing parts into her comedy scenes. The Deltas and Me-Rae-Does are 2 of=2 0her singing comedy acts. She also does comedy without the singing such as Not The Time I Wanted Off, Poo-GRAPHIC,and The Difference. And Pee-GRAPHIC, Toilet Training, I Got a Migraine, and 9 Days Since a Bath are upcoming acts in the works. With this new temp life, new setback, new injury, she's explored some writing. Never made time before, but now time is all she's got. She's done some serious writings and short stories as well. Mind Games, All Over the Place, and Dark Experiences are few examples. She's even started a novel. Hasn't named it yet. She's at the beginning stages of character and setting development. It's coming along just fine. She's becoming well known in the small community too. Marty Charles, editor of African Lifer , quotes "...it's like I'm reading a Virginia Woolf novel with her stream of conscious". Lucky Lad Works describes her writing "...really good. So intense and passionate." Gina Stones of Mushroom Magazine would like her story. Mushroom wants her to write an autobiography. The magazine even sent a recorder to get things started. Many of her fans thought she always led an interesting life anyway, and maybe it should be told now. She's been invited to a club too. A club called Faces behind the Scene. Interesting. Maybe she'll tap into her jazzy thoughts and tango toward the new group of friends, fans, and writers.
