Took almost a week off from Miller. Busy with family trip to Mackinac Island where the pace is slow and the water was warm. Almost finished with the biography. Miller got off track marrying MM and trying to write while involved with her. The Misfits was somewhat of a disaster and she died shortly thereafter. I think my next step is getting “Write that Play” from the UM library. Then, I’ll study Ibsen’s “Enemy of the People.” Miller often did extensive research. He visited Salem, Massachusettes for several weeks before he wrote “The Crucilbe.” So, I think I’ll study the garage band phenomenon as background–more specifically Iggy Pop, The Rationals, etc. A recent fundraiser for the lead singer–whose name escapes me now–would be a good scene. I have already written Ronnie Ashton’s funeral scene. I imagined a screen with slide show and video running above the casket.
