I am trying to write a play and all I can think about is how much I need a haircut or how much I really need to look up the etymology of this word or that. Oof! I feel like I've gotten a lot done on this in the last two days, but it is still so far from being done. Oh, I am not a fan of this whole playwrighting thing. I think I am going to use my lj to help me figure out where I am going with this... Well, my play is an adaptation of a very bad short story I wrote last semester. The whole adaptation part is a little difficult because the story never did have a plot. No really. There was no plot. It was just a really long-ass bad poem. And now I have the crazy idea to make it a play. Well, at least I have finally come up with a plot... this process was very post-modern... I had to think... if the feeling of this "story" had a PLOT, what would it be?
So my play is about a dancer who can't walk... yes it sounds so FREAKING sentimental already and it is... I was hoping to make it funny, but it really isn't. Right now, it is just a collection of random arguments and this pretty picture in my head of the end where everyone is happy... it sounds like my most LOATHED genre, the romantic comedy (except, sadly, there is as of yet no FUNNY.)
Oh dear... I am only making myself more depressed. I think I'm going to go work on my history homework (or maybe just watch some cartoons.)
