WOW! So many posts today! Well, here's my contribution to it all.
Today was the first day of my screenwriting class, down at the Sacramento State Campus. Three hours long, and totally worth it. Our assignment for today (due on Thursday) was to read the script of The Princess Bride, and to come up with a 2-3 page synopsis of an original script.
After class, my mom and I went and go my shiny new OneCard ID/money card, and then made our way to the University library, where I began working. I'd had a plot I thought I was going to use, but after I had written two pages of the synopsis during which nothing really happened, it died completely. I spent at least three excruciating hours attempting to first save it, and then replace it. I never knew writers block could cause physical pain before....
Finally, I got up and walked around campus, thinking that might help. It did. I think I can safely say that finding ones plot after a bout of writers block is just about the most pleasurable sensation anyone can experience. I think I'll save my newfound plot for another day, however.
Yay!!!!! *claps*
