Oy! Time to write a short story… What about? What about?… I’m not sure yet. Do outer space setting. No that’s always cheesy. It has so much potential, but I don’t think I am the one to write about it. Hmmm…  Think about the movie you want to write / direct / film.  the short story could be the rough idea of that movie. So let’s see… What do I want to make a movie about? I’ll probably apply my formal knowledge to it. That’s a given I think. What about? Something with philosophy…  maybe it paints a picture. What philosophy? I don’t know enough about any one philosophy (except Christianity). Hmmm, Everyone throws Christianity in. Of course I will, I think it’s true, but I don’t want to be all that and end up preachy or something. This has to be something fun for me to write. Something dark, someone trapped, inside himself, inside a disease, trapped. Life is tragic. Work that in. Why is life tragic? I’m not disagreeing, but why? It’s weird. Should life be tragic? I don’t want to start with characters, but okay. There’s a girl. Okay, make the character strong, highly developed, real, it will only help the story. How about a story only about people? Nothing else, no volcanoes, no hurricanes, no storms, just people. How could I capture a person? I’d probably know this person then. I could only really capture myself and do it justice. I don’t know what I can do. What do I want to write about? I have no stories! I don’t want to do this. I’m not even good telling stories. It will get better of course. That’s good. I’m done writing this, I have no story.
