Spring Break's Over...Time To Get Some Work Done

I set up some goals for myself before my trip to Mexico, but in all fairness and honesty, my mind was already south of the border. Damn you senioritis. Now, after returning, I am focused and ready to accomplish my goals. Since the research paper is due soon, I am going to mainly concentrate on that for the time being. My research topic is society's reaction to stoner movies, and I have found one especially helpful article in an issue of Entertainment Weekly. I hope to find more, but so far no such luck. My research has chiefly been done in school, thus making it difficult when almost ALL of the websites I try to look at are blocked due to "Drugs". I am hopeful that I will find some other websites when I look on my home computer. At this point, that would be my main problem. My goals for this week are to find more websites or articles, start my research paper (at least the opening paragraph), and DEFINITELY develop some sort of outline for my script. I have so many ideas racing around in my head but I need to organize them. Without an outline, I'm lost. I am very excited to start this project, but scared at the same time. If LIT doesn't turn out to be what I expected, I will be very disappointed in myself. I remain optimistic though, and am very eager to begin.
This website will help me develop my outline.

4th Marking Period BEGINS

Alright, the exciting fourth marking period is off to a great start. I have a couple ideas that I'm spitballing. I am either going to write a series of children's books about a superhero named Forkman, or I am going to write a raunchy stoner movie called Lit. At this point, I am leaning more towards Lit. I have already started it, and I am eight pages in. When I get the How To Write a Screenplay books that Jake and I are going to share, I know I will have the tools to finish this screenplay. Some concerns I have is that I will be 50 pages in and say, "This is garbage." I would hate to expend so much effort and then end up with a subpar product. On the otherhand, if I did the children's books, they would be shorter and easier to edit.
This week, I want to add to my screenplay. I want to create an outline of what will happen in the movie and not just write what comes to mind with no structure whatsoever. My goal by week's end is that i will have at least 15 pages written and a good idea of where I am headed with this movie.
I will clearly have help along the way. I mean, I'm pretty great and all, but I can't take on this task alone. I will consult websites along the way and will also read a number of books on screenwriting. Also, in order to learn more about the plant Cannabis Sativa, I will be reading "The Cannabis Companion" by Steven Wishnia.
I couldn't be more excited about this marking period. I have always wanted to finish a screenplay, and this finally gives me reason to do just that.
