The New Wester's Encyclopedic Dictionary of the English Language, 1997 edition states that Drama is as follows:
1. a prose or verse composition presenting dialougue and action. a story involvong conflict or contrast of characters, intended to be performed on the stage; play
2. any event or series of events having vivid, conflicting elements that capture one's interest
Or in other words- life. If you write a story or poem true to life as you know it or as you perceive it, you would pretty much has the basis for drama. Drama is loving, hating, crying, laughing, playing, working, and just everyday being. It can be as emotional as the final scene from Scarface or as quietly blissful as On Golden Pond. Either way it is drama, and drama is life... |

I know that this is extrememly short this time, and I apologize. I've been very busy covering some of the local events for a local newspaper, and have fallen behind in my reading.
If any of you have come across some really good drama out there, drop me a line, I'd love to read and highlight some of them here!

I couldn't agree more with your theory about drama. It's indeed a part of life. If one looks about them long enough, they'll discover this to be true as well.
Q & A
From June 7th Edition:
What elements do you consider important to a good Drama?
Submitted By: Vivian Gilbert Zabel (vzabel)
Good first issue, Mandik. To me, drama includes a story, conflict, plot, climax, emotion.

Mandik,
I think drama is all about story. You could say that all writing is about that, but drama especially. It isn't about the bells and whistles, but rather about the interplay between people. It is the deeper reactions, the core of the people involved. Thus the elements would be characters of depth, fraility, surprising strength, love, hatred, pettiness and altruism (to name a few). Drama turns the focus away from the situations themselves and onto how we react to those situations.
Great 1st newsletter, btw.

Hi Mandik!
I hope you are enjoying the world of newsletters.
Props to you for including the Sabres in your first letter. I remember that game, not from watching personally, but from having my family call me and tell me about it. A well chosen topic, for Buffalonians often recap the dramatic "near misses" which dog the city's sports teams.
From July 5th Edition:

you know? I've had that same problem with age ever since I began writing. It was either my work was good untill they found out my age, or that they already knew I was a high school student so my work was good...for a teenager. I even wrote a Poem about it and every time I repost it I get the most views. It seems many people feel the same way.
