I've always been more of an overall idea guy. I can come up with ideas and concepts for stories and worlds, but the actual writing of a script is something that has never come naturally. I find myself now trying to work on those muscles and develope that skill. I've got the germ of an idea for a children's show that I am in the process of trying to flesh out. In the past, I've always kind of wrote "stream-of conscience" style and have generally ended up with a tangled mess of ideas not really well conected together and forced dialogue and un-needed exposition.
This time I'm trying to do it right. I'm working from an outline with a beginning, middle, and an ending. It may still end up a jumbled mess that I bring to one of my writer friends to help bring together, but I really want to try to bring this together myself and prove to myself that I can do it. Like I tell young artists, if you want to draw you need to draw. I want to write, so I need to write. Just gotta work out those muscles, y'know. Just may need to keep the Ben-Gay and a bag of ice nearby.
