What to write
It's hard to develop characters that will interact with each other. For instances if I write about a old bus driver named jack who punches kids in the face when they bring sunflower seeds on his bus, well bad example he would be easy to incorporate in a script or screenplay because he is so dynamic...this is why i for me its easier to write comedy than drama. In drama there are characters that are relatable because they are so real and thats what makes a drama dramatic. But in comedy you can put anyone in a room and have them interact. The key to writing is predicting what the audience will expect and do the opposite. Sounds easy right? Try it sometime. :)

Stressed much?
Hello stress, where did you come from? I don't know why but I had a mild panic attack this morning. It had a lot to do with a dream I had last night. Basically, in the dream I was in the situation of deciding whether or not I wanted to go back to Augustana for school or move on to UW-Milwaukee...it was weird because in my dream I chose to go back to Augustana and finish speech communication out before moving on to UWM. I guess the stressful part about it was waking up and realizing that I didn't have that option any more AND the fact that possibly my subconscious really wanted me to stay at Augustana? That was what caused this mild panic to ensue for like 12 minutes. However, I was able to subdue it by thinking about a friend who packed up here belongings and moved out to Hawaii and what must have gone through her mind during that whole ordeal with the Augustana administration. So where are we now? Well somewhere between glory and shame, success and failure, life and death. Getting my bearings and feet braced for anything is the best I can do for now... Also don't have so a lot of salt/sodium before you go to bed, load up on potassium if you want a good nights sleep, that's what I'll be doing tonight.
Production Notes:
What would you guys think about me posting my copyrighted pilot to my blog? I don't know if it would fit but I could put it in Acts/Scenes.
