Halloweeeeeeeeen!

Character is action.
How does the person get what they want?

I'm nervous about this playwriting thing...I definitely need to decide on a topic, which will be this week. Then I plan on visiting Prof Francis. But choosing what to write about is always the hardest part.

I was thinking about writing a play about the time that I lived in New Zealand. I'm not sure if that would work. At the same time I was thinking about writing some fantasy type play. Adventure stories are always my favorite, but I don't know how to do that. Sometimes I just want to write about regular life, but I'm not sure that my life is eventful enough that I could write something that someone would find interesting. I'm sure that all of these are silly worries, but they still float around in my head. I had this same trouble with the monodrama. I had a few written, but never liked them so I continued to change them.

Perhaps I can create a scenario, and just put a few people who have influenced my life in that scenario, and see how they might react. But then what would be the scenario? Why didn't I write about this before...this has got me thinking of all kinds of things. Now I just need to decide on my people, and make an outline. Alright. I can do this. Ha.
