The Adventures of Writing a Sript

I am a film producer slash actor, director, editor, special effects, and script writer. Some people might think that writing a scrip is very hard but a beg the differ. Here is an easy way to start a script or a rough draft of one. First open your mind and think of a situation that you have been in or someone else's. Then think on how you would play the scenario out. I would usually create characters while I write the script. Always think of storytelling rather than scenes. Just writing scenes will make a movie very boring. As a person writes a scene the strangest thing might happen. You will become the movie. It is very easy to become lost in your writing. In other words you will become one of the characters and the movie will be your reality at that moment. The character will become you and you will become the character. When you are in this mode make sure you are in a place where you are alone because if you are writing a sex scene then you might say the wrong things out loud and if you are writing a horror scene or movie then you might yell at the top of your lungs. The people around will probably call the crazy house and admit you.
