And, ACTION

When I was younger I never had this problem.

It’s really bloody annoying.

Its called being practical.

When I was younger I used to have a very active imagination and this helped me when it came to artistic things like writing books and drawing things like that. My mind could and would spew forth loads of ideas that I just never had time to jot them all down, lots maybe not great but there were one or two gems in the drivel, and if they were polished up right might shine, in the right light of course.

When I was still in the six form I started writing a script, it was sort of a dark comedy I'd been watching a lot of films of that ilk especially Bad Taste as I recall, and my mind was awash with good ideas for it. I didn't have an overall plot for it but it just spilled out onto the computer. Somehow my friends found out about this I can't remember how maybe I told them or maybe they just saw it over my shoulder, it doesn't really matter that much how they just did. A few of them were studying media and needed to do something for their final project at the end of the year and wanted to turn my script into a film, Yay! I hadn't even finished the script and I already had an offer to turn it into a film, today media project tomorrow multi-billion dollar Hollywood project.

My problem was that if I had been writing it a few years ago I would of just spewed out what I wanted as I had at the start of the script, the first part was easy enough to film it was nice and cheap very few special effects ect. However I needed a fantastic ending I knew I did but the problem was that I could think of loads of ways to end it but then I thought how are they going to film that with pretty much no budget, my mind started to go then it went back through the whole script and ripped it to shreds with its how's Damn it. I ended up rewriting the whole thing more then less and by the end it was just a shadow of it's former self, it was in short complete rubbish, and I never let the guys make it into the film, they did something else for there final something less adventurous.

I found the original script a while back while clearing through my old school work, it was there with a few other creative gems... dulled but not entirely without a sparkle, I could try to revive them but first I must lean to let go off being practical, at least once in a while.....
