Just started my screenwriting class at Gotham Writer's Workshop. So far, I don't know which genre to lean towards. It is certainly challenging to try to look at writing from a whole new perspective. I look at my writing from the "inside out,", now I have to approach it from the "outside in." Visual, visual, visual...is what it is all about.
The great thing is now I have an excuse to watch MANY movies and not feel guilty that I should be writing instead of wasting time on watching mindless television or going to the cinema.
I initially picked the genre of comedy for my script. What the hell was I thinking? When I can watch anything, I usually grab a cup tea and biscuits, plop myself down in my comfy recliner, and engage in some delightful English murder mystery--Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot, Midsummer Murders, and my personal favorite, Inspector Lynley. Well, either that or Hitchcock.
So again...comedy? We'll see. I might have to rethink and come up with some great mystery/suspense. We'll see, I guess. This should be interesting!
