Schemes and Dreams

There may very well be a major rewrite coming today. I know Nancy and Malcolm received some positive feedback for their segment, but the original plan for the story never called for Nancy to have a big role and it didn't even include Malcolm beyond a mention or two. The creative juices were flowing last night and this morning. I did some more work on Mimi and Nancy's verbal sparring match and I realize now I didn't need Nancy to confront Mimi in public to make the dialogue work. To establish a reason for that to happen I felt I had to set up the scene that I posted. In hindsight as I worked on their dialogue Mimi's apartment is a perfect environment for it. In addition I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to suddenly add in two more characters that I hadn't given any thought too, on top of all the other storylines I have.

The animosity Nancy has towards Mimi and their face to face confrontation was only meant to showcase Mimi's strength and determination to be their authentic self and to continue that journey to finding out who that is. It was never meant to make Nancy and Malcolm major characters.
