There is a point in movies where the protagonist has a revelation about their life. Once such revelation is past they go on to fulfill their dreams and desires. I have had many of these, too many to count. I'm starting to feel revelationed-out...
I always wonder if this one will be the one. The true one that makes me change. The one that I hold myself to because I believe it so much.
Yes this is about my writing or lack of writing. Every day I write story after story in my head, but I fail to put them down on paper. The other day I wrote a script for my class at school it felt good to write and I enjoyed it. It turned out okay too.
Then I had to finish a longer script for the drama competition. I was dreading it the most. I was scared I would sit down and nothing would come out. I started with the title... No problem there. The setting... Easy. The characters... Okay not to bad.
I tentatively typed the first characters name. There it was a line came in my head. Then the next and the next. My familiar style of dialogue with a bit of arguing. This is what I know. This is what I can do.
I suddenly realized that I was almost finished and I had to wrap it up. I was amazed at the final product. Sure it might not win a tony, but it is perfect for my kids :).
I still am waiting though for my revelation. We'll see I guess, I am always hopefully after writing something. I just need to keep doing it...
