Quarter 4 Sophomore Year #1

I started writing a play yesterday. I still don't know if that's going to be my project or not, but I've had this idea bouncing around in my head for a while, and I figured that I might as well start it. I'm about six pages in and it's already starting to transform and drift off from the original idea. I'm having problems keeping the personalities and mannerisms for both characters consistent. Despite these flaws, I'm still dedicated.
If this play doesn't work out for a final project, I was thinking that I might like to make a children's book. I would write it and illustrate it myself, possibly with help from somebody who knows what they're doing in terms of art, depending on how it all plays out. I was thinking that this would give me the experience to improve on my art skills, which are sadly lacking, and combine them with writing, which I haven't done in a while, at least not in long form.
Whether I go with the play or the book, either sounds good to me.
