Becoming a Playwright Part II
I LIKE writing plays. I’ve been thinking about it all over the summer, researching and making notes, allowing the characters to develop in my head, imagining certain scenes, and I was a little bit nervous about actually starting to write, not even sure of the format I was supposed to follow. But once I got started and stopped worrying about the technicalities I found I was really enjoying myself. I’ve always liked writing dialogue - my first novel drafts tend to have a lot of dialogue and not a lot else, so the words just seemed to flow. I now have a complete first draft which I’ve just handed over (not without some trepidation) to my friend at In-Debt Theatre for her comments.
Waiting around for other people’s opinions would have to be the hardest part of being a writer.
