New Writing Project

As it is the first year, I'm trying to salvage all the free time I have in the wisest manner possible (Wisest being the operative word) whether it be grabbing as much sleep as possible, to doing a tonne of work, and right now my 'wisest manner' is telling me to write some more, in terms of creative writing, so I'm giving myself another challenge. What, oh wisest mannered one, is this project all about? I hear you all scream, well my last challenge was to write a full length script, which would be around the equivalent of an hour and a half, which in all truth wasn't too good, but the whole point was just to experiment with the length of writing, which I did. My challenge now is to write again a full length script but for a genre that I'm not very comfortable in writing, and focus more on the quality a bit more, so that it has the right length, but.... you know.... is actually good, because lets be honest, you don't wanna be going to the cinema and watch a good length, well shot movie with a terrible story and dialogue.

The genre I got my friend to pick at random, and luckily it turned out to be one I've not really written about before; crime. My last script touched on it briefly, but was more a thriller that included criminal behaviour, but the story itself was more focused on being an emotional journey, and to explore the reactions of the characters to loss and troubles etc. So the objective of this project is to focus the majority of it on crime, and I have started the script, done the necessary character background work etc and I'm quite excited! Seeing as I've chosen a pretty tricky career to go into (Screenwriting/Directing/Acting) its best that I get as much experience as possible, so this is perfect for that.

Crime, although I'm not very comfortable with it and definitely not experienced with, is not terribly restricting, and there is quite a lot that can be done with it, whether its a very simple murder or a complicated series of events with intricate details to them, there is a LOT that can be done, so I am definitely looking forward to this. Wish me luck fellow readers/bloggers/....Internet-ers?

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ya.
