Here We Go – Year 2 Of BMI, Baby! (Fall 2019)

August 7, 2020

Year 2 has come and gone, but I’m just trying to catch you up, as I post everything we missed!

And this is just generally trying to keep the narrative to making some sense as I do the BMI posts.

I came back for year 2 with Ben! During year 2, everyone has to have a writing partner. Ben and I chose each other.

AND you have to musicalize something that already exists in the world. (Since it’s just for ‘school’ assignments, I don’t think there are copyright issues.)

The reason they make you take something that exists is because they don’t want to worry about if you can write a show completely from scratch – including the book. They have a whole book writer’s workshop.

This is more about can we write songs.

So we’re all gonna be on the same pages as to what the stories are. And we’re gonna musicalize them.

And after MUCH back and forth, Ben and I landed on The Good Place (the NBC sitcom)!

So, that’s what we’ll be doing! Wish us luck! 😉 [I mean, we know the outcome now, but you get the gist.]

I'd love to hear from you! So whaddya say?
