Treatment for the script is finished! Just need to add a synopsis. It’s kind of wild doing something that you’ve never done before, with feeling along the way that you have no freaking clue what you’re doing. With guidance from the professor, making it up as I go along, pulling from life happenings. We have some uncanny, weird shit happening currently.

Reading for my Women in Literature class. Goblin Market is one wild poem. 😳 The combination of classes I’m taking this semester fit together perfectly. It makes my brain happy when I can combine material from one class to the other.

Creative Writing
Craft & Forms of Creative Writing (Horror)
Screenwriting
Women in Literature
Disability Ethics

Also, I’m convinced this country has collectively gotten into a Time Machine and gone back to the 30s. Half the country has lost their damn fucking minds, with no empathy to be found, dragging the rest of us with them. Wish there was a way to add critical thinking skills to the water or better yet, to Coke and Pepsi products. And maybe show a documentary about eugenics and “Ugly Laws” inside their eyelids.

The Treatment for the script I’m writing is due on the 19th. Damn! This is a tentative title for the series. I just like having graphics to accompany my writings.

My Monday Night Poetry friends will love this as Shim’s Tavern and MNP plays a huge role in the series. In fact, that’s where most of the setting will be.

Yesterday I had to submit my answers to these questions for the Treatment:

* Who is the protagonist? What are their strengths and weaknesses? Do they have a fatal flaw? If so, what is it?
* What is the inciting incident in your show/movie? How does it disrupt the protagonist’s daily world?
* What does your protagonist want?
* How is your protagonist introduced? What is the first thing that we see them doing? What is the first thing they say?
* Where is your script set? Be as specific as possible? Is your protagonist an outsider or an insider?

The professor gave me encouraging and positive feedback. Onward! I’ve got to figure out my antagonist.
