I've been writing lately. And I don't exactly know what to call it. I used to think I wanted to write novels, because I love coming up with new ideas. My vision used to be that I would write a novel and someday someone would produce a movie out of my work. But I couldn't keep the story going. I had plenty of dialogue to write and plot ideas.Other than that, I couldn't really "write" a novel. Call it bad grammar, uneducated, whatever you would like. However, I came to the conclusion that maybe I could be a script write, or a screenwriter? Is that it? Lol. Obviously I don't know much about how it all works. I need a template, I guess. I actually looked up sites for screenwriters and I found templates but I had no idea what was going on. I didn't understand what any of the abbreviations meant. And I found out that the writer doesn't make physical decisions, like on the characters' appearance and such. Which, I would want to do that too. And in order to do that I would need to be the director as well. I was just wandering if anyone would be willing to educate me. I feel so lost and all I want to do is share my ideas and create something meaningful out of them. |
It's a bit like a young fisherman. He gets up ealy and goes out in a boat, throws out his net and eventually catches several different fish. In time he knows what fish he likes best and keeps them, the rest he throws back ito the see for others to catch.
Dreams are like that. A girl she will be rich or an actor or a writer or even a teacher and has a dress rehersal on all the characters she wants to be. Then one day she realises that hey, she likes being a writer and she also likes writing about a specific subject, so then she realises that she must study to be the best writer on that subject that she can be and that's when satisfaction and success come and visit her heart.
Just another day in the life of
