The Journey of Writing

Follow me, Jade, as I progress my skills and knowledge into developing a play. With quotes, poetry and writing by both me and the greats, you can help me growas a writer.

Opening - Edited

*Lights up on two school students, sat at a table waiting for their friends. One is dishevelled, overtired and cautious, the other is upset/angry for them.*

Serentity: It was scary you know.

Alice: I’d imagine. I’m fuming just hearing about it. I hate men. It’s nauseating/ I can’t even fathom it.

Serenity: /Worse than nauseating. I was shaking like a leaf in a hurricane, it was horrible. 

Alice: God, what are you gonna do?

Serenity: I have no idea… I just /need help.

Alice: *Nodding* /Should get help. 

- Jade W., Scene #1, 2025

Soft lips met with love,

Parted again with string,

The harsh kiss of two, in heat, Bathing in the sting,

Of teeth sunken in skin.

- Jade W., Assorted Poems, 2025

Developing a Play

Hello! If you've been following or even enjoying some of my writing and quote of inspiration, then you might be interested in helping me write my play!

Soon I will post some excerpts and scenes, but it's all very loose, similar to Caryl Churchill's Love and Information.

I hope you stick with me through this ride, and if you have any advice, please do share it! I'd love all the help I can get.

Thank you guys! - Jade, aka; girlsfirstplaywright

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

- Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan, 1892

[girlsfirstplaywright]

With the love of the Gods, Or the spite of the river styx, No soul, nor mortal, nor God, Could envy the love we share,

With the jealousy of the seraphs, And the song of the sirens, Nothing could hinder the love we share.

- Jade, Assorted Poems, 2025

“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”

- Edgar Allan Poe, A Dream within a Dream, 1827

[girlsfirstplaywright]

I was on a walk, thinking of you, And I found the perfect spot, To watch the sky with you.

I was on a walk, thinking of you, When I looked to the sky, And was met with nothing.

I was on a walk, thinking of you, Dreaming of the day, We lay and watch the stars.

I was on a walk, thinking of you, Praying that one day, You’ll think of me too.

- Jade, Assorted Poems, 2024

The divine prayers you utter, worshipping my eyes, to deep between my thighs. It never falters. Like the warmth of our love, it burns through me. Singeing the gaping wounds, left from giving you pieces of myself. No matter the pain, I’ll never stop. There is nothing worth the cost of losing our love. And even less, worth the cost of losing you.

- Jade, Assorted Poems, 2025

"What's poetry? It's not real but maybe it's more than real. It's dreaming while you're awake."
