I’m trying to get
back into the habit of casual writing and trying to clear some of my writer’s
block by searching for writing prompts online. I plan to spend 30 minutes on
each story and use it as a chance to write without overthinking, just following
whatever comes to my head.
I have also been
working on a few more ideas for my main production as I have been feeling less
and less passionate about my current idea.
IDEA ONE [Untitled]:
Michael gets punched on a night out. Him and friend Alex end
up sat outside, Alex wanting to go back and fight and Michael just wanting to
forget it happened.
IDEA TWO [The Flat Above]:
Two girls trying to have a quiet night in but the flat above
keeps making too much noise.
IDEA THREE [Untitled]:
(An advancement on a previous
idea.)
3 parts, split over time.
Shows the growth of a relationship between 21 year old Alice
and 72 year old Tom. They meet in a laundromat and immediately dislike each
other. Over time they let go of their judgments and discover an unlikely
friendship.
IDEA FOUR [Untitled]:
(Inspired by ‘Welcome to
Night Vale, Episode 6 – The Drawbridge.)
My horoscope said I’m going to die today and I’m starting to
believe it. There’s only one item left on my bucket list and I need your help.
IDEA FIVE [2am]:
After a night out, Amy goes into an off-license for tobacco,
milk and chocolate. She ends up talking to the man behind the till and
discovers that not everybody is what they seem.
IDEA SIX: [Untitled]:
After Lucy comes home fed up with college, she confides in
her father and he reminds her of times this has happened before.
~I’m not like your mother. I don’t always know
the right words to use, especially in situations like this. But for once I
think I have the perfect idea. Do you remember when you were 5 and I came to
pick you up from school to find you crying?
-That was the day Mr.Matteson shouted at me
and you told him he was unfit to teach.
~I still stick by that but yes. And do you
remember what we did after that?
EMILY THINKS FOR A MINUTE BEFORE SMILING AS
SHE REMEMBERS.
-You took me to that ice cream place and let
me get the biggest ice cream I wanted.
~And then you threw up all over the car on the
way home.
-I did? I’m so sorry.
~Don’t you remember?
-I don’t remember puking.
~As soon as you’d thrown up you began
laughing. I was so surprised. Everything stank, everything was covered in vomit
but you just smiled and began laughing. I didn’t know what to do at first but
you just kept laughing, all of this stringy vomit was hanging from your lips
but you just laughed and laughed.
EMILY SUDDENLY REMEBERS.
-Then you started laughing too.
~We must have been sat in that car laughing
for 20 minutes.
-Do you remember how mad mum was when we got
home?
~Can you blame her? We couldn’t get the smell
of vomit out of your hair for a week.
-Do you know what’s funny? I don’t even
remember why I was so mad at everyone.
~Of course not. If we remembered everything we
got upset over, then nobody would do anything. We pick ourselves up, brush ourselves
down and get on. It’s a natural part of life and you can’t fight life. It’s when you try to move against it that it
bites you in the ass. Everybody has their ups and downs and you’ve just got to
go with it. I’ve found that as long as you’re surrounded by positive people
that bring out the best in you then things get a little bit easier.
