This past weekend I went on a camping trip with campus ministry. I had a really good time despite the fact that the majority of the day was spent swatting misquitos. Despite our best efforts, everyone left with at least ten bites, but that is beside the point.
I wish that I had managed to get more writing done over the weekend than I did; I only got a few lines for a couple of stories, but I think I came up with a rather good idea.
One of the pieces that I'm rather attached to is a murder mystery/thriller. Even though I know everything that happens, and I think I know how it ends, there is something still missing, but I think I found part of the problem. When I'm working on this piece, I keep seeing scenes acted out, not from movies I've seen, but what these scenes are supposed to look like. But whenever I try to write them, they never turn out the way they should.
So I made a decision that I will no longer write this story as a novel but as a screen play. Everything seems to work out better that way, because then I can just describe how everything looks rather than try to make it sound like it fits in a novel. I just hope that people are still interested in psychological/thriller dramas, because that is the way this story is turning out to be right now.
