Third Times a Charm!

My friend Niamh has just asked me to follow her BLOG as she is trying to get writing again. This has inspired me to start writing again also but unfortunately for me, my blog doesn't seem to have a particular purpose. Niamh's blog is a fashion blog aptly named I Am Tacky.  It follows her love of all things tacky and its great!

I've been trying to think all morning about what I should center my blog around but really I can't think of anything! I started this purely just to get writing in order to stave off writers block. It did work, as i mentioned before, I went to New York during the Summer and studied dramatic writing. While the comedy side was a bit of a let down, ( there is nothing more torturous then writing jokes you don't find funny) the screen writing class I took turned out to go much better then I ever could have expected.

I began to write a script with the working title The Ferry. I am quite a slow writer as I don't like to leave anything on the page that I don't think is perfect. I worked as fast as I could though and tried to meet the deadlines given to me by my very helpful teacher Sheldon Woods. I am very confident in my script and received good feedback from all who read the first part. However, I am now stuck at 30 pages. With act 1 completed, I have no idea how to continue! I thought I would perhaps get another 30 or so done before I started college again but unfortunately I have not been struck with inspiration once!

And so, I will try and start writing here again in the hope that I will get back into the swing of things. I do miss writing but theres no point in forcing something that just isn't there, instead I'll try to slyly coerce it out by rambling on about absolutely nothing here!
