scriptwriting

today i had my first seminar on screenwriting and it was terribly exciting! learning about how to write screenplays and create scripts really captivates me. i think what appeals to me is that there are no constraints. i can construct and build on characters that have been developing in this little mind of mine…create stories that i have always wanted to put on paper and i now have the chance. so, yes…. it's all so very exciting. our seminar convenor’s name is Matthew (i am sure putting his name in here will help me remember it!) the seminar group is quite small, there are about 20 of us…nice people.

after our first 2-hour seminar i have been left truly inspired! i'm very nervous…that disgusting feeling i get before, or just as new things start to happen in my life, is definitely lurking somewhere inside of me. putting in all the effort i have into this seminar is not a problem. i need to do well. i want to do well.

i am going to try and start writing. vomiting all my ideas onto paper!!!! hmmm....strange image in my head...
random thoughts, compositions, scenarios…

CRICKET WORLD CUP in 11 days! YES! thrilling is not even the word to describe it!

chicka, i miss you, i've heard you've moved from spice house, and that it's mostly american's. i'm glad i came when i did for sure.

i think you need to immerse yourself in journalism instead of scriptwriting. haha just kidding. but because i just found out that there are 6, ONLY 6 reporters from major newspapers in the U.S. in Africa, and one of them is currently being withdrawn. unbelievable. anyway, maybe i should continue the pursuit. and what else, i've been offered a job in zambia? haha, that's unbelievable too.
this is getting simply too long for a comment- i'll email you soon.
