Here we are. The day before I dive into the challenge I have set myself. The millions of you reading this will probably wonder why I have to attempt to write 30 short film scripts in 30 days. You will then probably wonder why I have decided to write a blog alongside it...
I was watching a short film called 'The Reinvention of Normal' where we follow the life of an inventor who works on particularly whacky inventions. In the film he talks about how he set himself a challenge of creating one invention a day for 30 days whilst also blogging about it and his experiences. One of the things he said that really struck me was how this process, though hard, allowed him to think creatively on an instinctive level, and not by lingering too much in his thoughts. After he said this I thought of my own struggles with writing and how often I sit down trying to write whilst being too stuck in my head. But then also how uncommitted I can be about writing. I will say to myself on a given day that I am going to write and then the next thing I know I've wasted the day doing nothing. By 11pm its too late, I would rather play Call of Duty Warzone until 3am instead of trying to think more creatively. How tragic. No more.
It's all well and good that I want to set myself this challenge and I am sure those of you who read this will give me a virtual pat on the back for my idea. But, you probably also wonder why I am writing a blog to go alongside it. In short, I thought it might be fun. I also think that being able to reflect about each script may be interesting and what could have influenced me to make the creative choices that I do. Was I feel particularly sad that day? Did I read something interesting? Was it inspired by the thoughts I had during my prayers? Who knows. I guess I will find out. I am excited to start.
Now all I need to do is start the final draft free trial.
