    This is great. You've obviously thought a lot about musicals and on what's needed in writing one. I found this very helpful as I embark on musical story-telling. Thank you Shafeeq!

    This is so in time, just when I needed it! I already know a bit about creating stories, but somehow I was frozen when it comes to write one for musical... somehow your voice and pace of speaking spoke to me 🥰 I now feel I have all needed to write one:)

    I’m in the first stage of the musical process and let me tell you it is not easy I am thinking about the categories in how I’m going to use each song like what genre of music is my musical going to heavily reflect.

      @@LiverandLung Buddy - although I appreciate show business - I got bigger and even better plans for both things. A shot for shot adaptation of the TH-cam feature film Tom and Jerry meet Scooby Doo. So I rather work on it in May - because it shall probably celebrate it’s tenth anniversary. Besides that - the Tom and Jerry meet Scooby film serves as the origin of the TEF series. Hopefully I shall find a girl who sings who dances and who appreciates any direct to TH-cam long running series. Well you know what they say. There’s no business like show business
