I thought as a project, and to keep me writing that I wanted to write a play. Maybe start off with a one act play, and be able to expand it if I want it to be more than just an exercise. In order for a play to be legit, action must take place. This is where we run into two problems.
The first problem is that I have no ideas. I am less concerned about this than the next problem since weird ideas enter and leave my brain like it were some kind of shifty hotel. I'm sure some day before I die I'll come up with a premise for something.
My second, more concerning issue, is that I like to write and read stories where there appears to be very little outcome or point. I like this kind of thing because it feels very true. I don't think there is always an answer or a lesson that is learned, or at least not one that a person discovers immediately after the events of the story. I am totally cool to watch a story that seemingly has no reason to be told as long as it is told well.
Thats the first line of my play.
