In Tune With Muse | |
I am totally new to this!I have never in my life considered writing for the one thing I love to do most! I am a writer of contemporary freestyle prose, erotic poetry, erotica, and researching a novel at present. THEN I get a letter. Why are you not writing screenplays? and do you think you would have time to write a script? um...I don't know how to write a script let alone a screenplay. All the help I can get here is completely appreciated. I have read scripts over the last week. But then I see, first draft, final draft, script copy, and all of this other stuff and I am like "oh damn!"......so, where the heck do I actually begin, besides the idea & outline stage?The Last King of ScotlandI urge all screenwriters to go see The Last King of Scotland, the story of a young Scottish doctor who becomes the personal physician of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. This film is an example of screenwriting at its very best. The characters are extremely well developed and seem to live and breathe on their own.Screenwriting In The New YearHappy New Year, everyone. Now that 2007 has begun, it's time for a new year of screenwriting. The FriendThe computer, a room, the window, a cellfone within reach, the guitar, the television, the remote control and some dirty glasses, some thrown clothes, here is where I spend hours of the day writing. The cellfone rings and emotions move... is a friend calling and inviting me to drink chocolate in the coffee - library from the other corner, what a happiness, I d´ont feel lonely anymore, my heart returns to beat, we talk, in the table infront of us some girls are laughing and talking loud, the waiter brings the chocolate with a cake, put the white paper napkins and the round glass ashtray in our table, the time is passing and with him my sadnesses. The dull computer delay in the empty room, the closed window, the opened door of where no longer music is heard, the keyboard does not make the noise of tiping of the fingers, the telephone bills still on the table, television is without images, the dirty glasses still there. The friend tell me of his plans, of his desires, that slowly are lightning and heating my soul, what a pretty present is to have a friend . Oh God you do not take away my friend, if I lose everything I still have the friend, the one who takes the sadnesses of my heart away and gives back hapiness. The old waiter retires the plates and the cups, we pay the bill, the girls are still watching but the friend must go away, we give us a strong hug. I return walking to the room with a full heart plenty of emotions and satifaction by having been with the friend. I again feel like in front of the computer now already writing, I open the window, put the cellfone within reach, I return but now very happy for such a beautiful day. Oh God Do not take me away the friend. Author Antonio Gomes How To Find Something To Blog AboutIt can be very easy to find something worth blogging about.
