TW: quick mention of suicide "Stars" was such a cute screenplay to write. Like many other of my stories, "Stars" focused on family, but while my other stories centered around finding and enjoying family, the bulk of "Stars" is about the loss of family. Crystal, the main character of "Stars," lost her mom when she was two years old and now lives in a commune with her father and Pavel. I originally wanted to share the character Crystal during my Lucia series. [TW] I was going to have a book about Pavel and his worries about Crystal's suicidal thoughts [TW end]. I didn't go on with the story, but I still couldn't bear leaving Crystal behind. And so came "Stars." The questions Crystal and Pavel discuss are those that I often struggle with. Does my birth family miss me? Think about me? The honest answer, I can never really know unless I meet and ask them myself. That is scary and is what Crystal is on the verge of doing. She's going to learn the answers to her questions wether she likes them or not. Well, thanks for reading. What are your thoughts behind "Stars?" See you in December!
