Many years ago, I wrote a screenplay. I’ve never shown it to anyone. It’s gangly and well, whatever, but I like the story.
I recently reread it, it’s probably been seven or eight years since I’ve read it, and I’ve decided to change it into what could end up being a novel.
My hope is that by doing this will help to kickstart the creative juices.
ok, so, i've reread both what i wrote and also a re-write i did, several times, in fact. i've made some minor adjustments (mentally) and just outlined the chapters in terms of what, generally, is happening in each and who is in the chapter. kinda a little excited
one thing that i want to be really careful about is doing this writing at my computer, which i use for work. i think i have a second laptop that will work, but i need to figure out how/where i'm going to do this.
i mean, i was going to toss (and by toss i mean stick it in my garage) my second desk that i got when my keyboard tray broke. maybe i need to set that up. i'd be able to move my chair easily enough. maybe this is what i do.
and i have officially started writing. this makes me happy.
Between writing and other stuff I’m doing I’m not necessarily writing every day but today I wrote about 500 words so woohoo! And what I’m finding to be interesting, I’m going back to the way I was writing before which is all the dialogue first and then go back and do all the description and everything else that goes along with it so yeah, it feels like I’m actually getting into writing again.
Woohoo!
