Yesterday, I attended a theater arts meeting at church. We learned about just writing without regard to punctuation, sentence structure etc. We just wrote what came into mind. Sometimes we writers can caught up in periods, commas, and such. That's the purpose of editing after we written our piece.
Later, we did some play writing. I have written a couple of plays in the past. Today, the leader gave us a couple of plays to read. It was interesting the many moods the characters can illicit. Tone was stressed too, something I never considered before. I should have since I write poems and short stories. I attempted to write a play a few nights before. Now I have a better idea of what goes into a play.
My takeaway from this is to write whatever comes to mind; just get it on paper before it's lost forever. That's why I carry a notebook and pen all the time. I'm challenged to write a play. A friend suggested that I write about my life experiences. Now I have some information and ammunition to proceed ahead.
