The thought first came to mind in another post of mine yesterday, and I wouldn't mind your constructive feedback and plot suggestions. I don't mind if you're wacko; I eat Wacko Corn Flakes for breakfast--it's very popular in County Wicklow. I'm thinking that my new play will center on a black Jewish lesbian who is a homeless mother in the USA, perhaps in backward Georgia, who is, in fact, God. She has come to Earth mad as the dickens because of the way Christians over the centuries have treated Jews, people of African descent, the poor, the homeless, and gay men and women. She carries in her tote bag the key to Hell. And in Act One, Scene One, she transports every televangelist in North America to a place so brutally hot and fiery and painful that those con men are sorry their mama ever had them. What do you think of my storyline so far? It isn't a comedy.

First of all, your character is too discriptive. You need to focus on one characteristic. in order for a lesbian to have a kid she would probably have to go through adoption. In order to go through adoption, you have to have a lot of money and offer a good home--aka not homeless.
Also, how many homeless people live in Georgia? And how many Jews who hate christianity live in Georgia? Hello!! Join your Yankee friends!
God is not a person. It's a being. It's a spirit. You can see it, you just know it's there and feel it. If she just came to Earth, why would she be Jewish? Another thing, Christians have been very good to the Jews considering other oppressers. Remember the holocaust?
Your storyline is weak. You didn't do your homework. You're on a rant against issues that you personally don't understand and therefore can't write about. Good writers write what they know. A teenager couldn't write about the tribulations of women going through menopause.
You need to mature as writer big time. Take some workshops, go to school, whatever. You're wasting your time writing about this.

i dont think u should do that. some jews,blacks, and lesbians might think that is offence. i know i do i am a jew. I know alot of all those catorgies that you have this poor women in. try something else. and by the way Christians haven't always Been cruel to jews. and when you come up with a new idea make sure you do some research before putting it on yahoo answers. also dont have hell involed. also ppl might think that Is very races of you.YOU ARE MEAN!!!!!!

It sounds far too preachy, and entirely unoriginal. The only good thing about it is it DOES have the elements of the movie "Diary of a Mad Black Woman."

I am harmless wacko! Looks great, I would be interested to see that. Especially sending the "put another dollar in the box-ah" lot to Hell.
Haven't been to the theatre for ages.

It seems rather cliched. It deals with so many issues. Perhaps you should focus on one.

You are being prejudice. I like the idea, but not the way you handle it.
