I Suck At Screenwriting

yesterday, i was copying some files from my little flash drive to my computer when i noticed a little document that i wrote was still on the flash drive. the document was created in july of 2007. it was labeled "screenplay". apparently, i suck at screenwriting because the contents of the file were unfinished.

i began writing a screenplay (apparently in july of 2007) about my friends who i later went to ireland with. to me, screenwriting is an outlet for fun. it gets my creative juices going. growing up watching a lot of television, i was sometimes disappointed by the storylines of some of my favorite shows. i used to think that i could do better than what the writers wrote in terms of the storyline.

it wasn't until high school that i wrote my first screenplay. naturally, i wrote about what i know best... me and my friends. granted, the screenplay that i wrote in high school was a cross between vampires and beverly hills 90210 involving my friends. nonetheless, i think my friends enjoyed the absurdity of my screenplay.

luckily, i don't take my writing too seriously. anyway, when i saw the document sitting on my flash drive yesterday, i remembered that i never did finish that screenplay. i'l have to work on that some time to share with everyone.
