Playwriting Project: Day 4

EQ: Getting your writing done can be a difficult task. How do we find inspiration, what is a healthy writing process, and why should we learn to write more fluently and skillfully? What's in it for us?

This morning, please read or watch the following today in class by the end of period 1 and take notes on key points in the articles/video (there may be a quiz):
1.  Getting Writing Done: How to Stop Thinking About It & Get It Done
2. 31 Ways to Find Inspiration for Your Writing
3. Writing May Be The Key to Getting a Job or Promotion

The Writing Process Animation
After viewing/reading this morning, please continue to work on your play project. At this time, you should stick with the scenario you created in the September 30th post assignment! If you have other ideas for other plays, save them. While you may change some details, you are expected to write the play script you completed your scenario assignment for!

Please note: Length of your play will depend on the story you are trying to tell--not on any artificial page length. All plays should use proper U.S. play script format. (See handouts from previous classes!)
