Continued. to act it out, was what I was going to finish saying.
The thought has slipped my mind, honey. Though writing scripts and writing stories are two things pretty far from eachother.
But since I like reading scripts much more than I like reading stories, I wouldn't mind reading a script you've written.
As for playing it out, if I had a boyfriend/girlfriend it sounds like a lot of fun.
I wouldn't mind reading one. But I have written a couple of plays for various fundraising things I have taken part in. The thing is plays are mostly dialogue and I can't write dialogue, so I will stick to stories.
Actually, it isn't so difficult to do. The difference between a book and a Play-Script lies in definition
of surroundings, props and descriptions. That isn't as hard as it may sound and in all reality a script
would call for precise details of each setting. If the reader cannot clearly create his/her own mental
image of the precise surroundings that you create inside you head, then obviously, it would not be
acceptable. Also, do bear in mind that if one is to embark on this and the Play is actually a real event,
then one would want the Script reader to enter what is a real event in Script form. This cannot be done
without some precision and detail.
A good starting point is to create a room inside your mind and then describe it in very fine detail, in
such a way that the Script reader will see *exactly* what you see yourself. If you cannot do that
then that leaves the actual appearance very much open to personal vision; but, in such a case, then
wouldn't that defeat the object of writing a Script in the first place?
And finally. The writing part of a Script or Play is, in fact, the easiest part ... having someone see
exactly what you see in your mind is the greater art-form here.
Just a few initial thoughts :-)
