Rethinking My Play

Apr 22, 2012 00:59

I have for the past few days been writing a Mathnet Fanfic or Crime.net ( which I have renamed it). And I have come to the conclusion that I am going to have to rethink the Characters. Especially, the original Mathnetters. I am thinking still in terms of the age they was when I last saw them on television. Which I feel is a big mistake, I can't ( Read more... )

Ah, perhaps we are meant to hash this out as a team! I have studied playwriting and screenwriting (with Gotham Writers' Workshop; they offer online courses, which I took, as well as actual classes and one-day intensives in NYC). It is definitely something that takes time to polish, write, rewrite, having readings, stuff like that, but it's a very worthwhile pursuit as long as you don't plan to make millions from doing so. It's a "starving artist" kind of pursuit, but if you love what you're doing, it's not a waste of effort! It definitely helps to have a community of people to collaborate or bounce ideas off of; I have kept in touch with a couple of my playwriting classmates on Facebook, a couple of whom have since had their works produced.

Ah good, you have Final Draft too! I have a couple of 10-minute plays I have written that are not Mathnet-related that I could share, although they are sort of in the vein of David Mamet with swearing and sexual connotations, since that's the kind of random style that I find entertaining. That and British style humor, like the Monty Python and Doctor Who type stuff. I like to employ a lot of improv wittiness while I'm writing, too; my humor can be as random as George's was ( ... )

You are too kind! The excitement was already there long before I posted. Do not tell me you are Blackadder fan! I love that series a matter of fact I love britcoms in General like Fawlty Towers which I just realized that Square one Tv spoof this series with Nobody's Inn. "Yes, Prime minster","Allo,Allo", and "Are you being served?" Just to name a few. I love them all but Blackadder ranks on the top of my list ( ... )
