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.
