Not so much

Not that much to say this time, except that I wrote about 10 pages last night, but am not sure they'll make the final cut.

Here's the next character breakdown. This is the male lead. I adore him! I wish he was real!
Jack Stewart Robert John Franklin, 22
Attended private schools in Reading area outside London. Was sent to a nasty boarding school in Scotland from age 13-15.
Began playing violin at age 4 when Mom invited several pros to demonstrate for him. Was at major concerto level at 9. First solo recital at 10, then again at 17, 18. First solo concerto performance at age 7 (Bach A Minor)
Did not play from age 11-15 (his father wouldn't let him).
Accepted into the RAM Junior Academy at 15. Lived in London during the week with a “caretaker” so he could attend Westminster and the RAM Junior Academy. Played in the London Philharmonic Youth Orchestra from 15-18 and was principal second violin final year.
Took 7th in Menuhin competition at age 17 and 4th at age 18.
Auditioned and was accepted into many music schools in Europe and the US. Came to Ralston because he hit it off with the violin teacher best and was interested in film music.
Was a daredevil as a kid, broke left arm, rib, leg, concussion doing “stunts” around the estate.
His mother taught him piano from age 6 to 11 to supplement his violin playing.
Attended a concert every weekend (during the school year) with his mother until he was 10.
Insisted on attending the birth of his nieces when he was 9 and passed out in the delivery room.
Plays a violin labeled Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesu 1712 from Beare in London. It was a gift from his mother given to him 3 days before her death.
First kiss was with Hailey. When Jack was ten years old, he befriended a girl at school named Hailey, whom he invited over after school almost every day for several months, developing a huge first crush. He plucked up the courage and asked her if she’d marry him when they turned eighteen and when she said yes, he tried to kiss her. She started to cry and ran away home and never spoke to him again.
