Intimidation...it haunts me completely. I begin this blog stating this upfront and in your face. This begins a new chapter in my life in a field with which I am totally unfamiliar. I have never done actual creative writing (that is besides those I Hate My Life poems I'm sure most have dabbled with at one time or another). Maybe I see this a challenge to create something that I have grown so fond of. Which leads me to the creation of an idea.
Way back when (okay, just about three years ago), my brother and I decided that one day we were going to write a comedy. I figured that this would a good idea seeing how both of us grew up around competitive drama, and each of us had one our respective awards for our comedic acting. As an undergraduate in English and Art, I figured that perhaps this would not be too difficult. Fast forward to now...no script. Nothing. So perhaps for a potential screenplay, I have considered tossing around the idea of two brothers attempting to make it in the world of screenwriting and following the conflicts that arise between the two.
I think that this is somewhat an interesting approach for me to choose to write a drama of two brothers attempting to better their lives. Why, you ask? I have become to be known as the "horror film guy". All of my academic studies at the graduate level have centered on writing about some aspect of horror/horror films. I don't know why...it's just something I like to do.
With all of that aside, I am going to plow through this with fear standing right behind me reminding me that this is new and unfamiliar. Damn you, fear.
