Quantity over quality

That is what I need to remember when I write. I need to write down everything that goes through my mind. Even if I think it is totally ridiculous because I can just throw it out later. I used to think like that. Any idea that crossed my mind, I would write it down. I got away from that practice and started editing my ideas as I went along. And I think my writing has suffered as a result. So lately I've been trying the opposite. If I get an idea for a new script, I don't think about whether its a good idea or not. I just write it down and decide later.

Writing for the Masses

I've chosen to write a mock-mentary for my final project in Media Scriptwriting. It will be about life in my dorm room. This brings about the challenge of writing jokes and stories that almost anyone can relate to. I'm tempted to just write things that my friends and myself find humorous. That does not make a good script. I must learn to put away on biases and focus on entertain more than just my roommates.
