Okay...so i've been taking a lot of time to do some "soul searching," or something along those lines. I've been very reclusive and standoffish from...well everything. I just wanted to get to know me...better. I don't know if that sounds crazy or weird or whatever; it is what it is. And i've come up with the conclusion that its time for me to pour myself into something. Its time to take my creativity and put it to the test, to channel it and put it to good use. So i have decided that i will embark on my first ever full length screenplay. Yes you heard it here first. Lol.
Unless you know me you won't understand how big a project this actually is.
I like to think i was born to be creative, and for me most of that creative energy, stems from my childhood. I was that kid who was contantly outside making up fantasy worlds, dreaming up things most people never think of. I'm proud to say that that has stuck with me. I'm the same way, my mind is constantly going, and it can be both blessing and curse. For this particular project its a blessing.
I've always been fascinated with writing. When other kids were drawing with their crayolas; i was scribbling nonsense, with what i thought then to be cursive, with my mother's pens. I soooo wanted to go to school and learn how to write. Once i did, i never turned back. I've been writing ever since. Poems, short stories, songs, you name it. Now it may be hard, but do you notice a pattern? Maybe not yet...
Well let me let you in on a little secret, that pattern for me is the "shortness" of each of these things. I've never focused and stayed on a single project for more than a day or two. Not more than a few pages and no more than a pens worth or ink. So for me to take on this screenplay idea, this 100 or more page experience is going to be one of a complete and utter breakthrough. If and when i make it through i'm hoping to gain some perspective into myself. More so than i have now. I want to stick to something, and follow through. Something i have a huuuuuge problem with. This is my test. And it starts now.
