Jasmine: Sighs heavily Why do they always cast me as the ditzy sidekick? Can't I be more than that?
The industry doesn't see you as anything more.
leans against the wall, crossing her arms Well, I refuse to let them define me. I have so much more to offer.
How will you show them you're more than just a sidekick?
grabs a notebook and starts writing furiously I'm going to prove them wrong by creating my own characters.
slams the notebook shut I've been doing this for years, but no one seems to care. It's like they're content with seeing me as nothing more than a sidekick.
throws the notebook across the room You don't understand! It's not just about the hate anymore. It's about being recognized for my talent.
Talent is one thing. Recognition is another.
paces back and forth Recognition doesn't happen overnight, but I can't help feeling like I'm being held back.
Don't think about recognition. Just enjoy doing what you love.
pauses and looks at polevaultm You're right. I should focus on my passion and create stories that matter to me. Recognition will follow if I stay true to myself.
I get bored sometimes too. I read novels and watch movies.
smiles Hey, maybe we should start a creative project together. Something that showcases our talents and creativity. What do you say?
grabs polevaultm's hand excitedly Great! Let's brainstorm ideas. We can start by outlining the plot and characters.
starts pacing again Let's see... How about a main character who is on a quest to find their lost love?
Maybe someone who gets stranded in a desert?
stops pacing and claps her hands together Yes! They get stranded in the desert and encounter a mysterious stranger who helps them find their way.
