[stylist] Playwrights

[vejas]

Hi,
I'm not much of a playwright although in fifth grade one of our 
projects was to write screen-plays.
My screen-play title was a play on words, it was called Pearl and 
the Daily Disaster because not only was she having problems with 
her parents' divorce, but she was also having problems with her 
friend Whitney Daily-get it? I also started writing 2 more 
screen-plays about Pearl.
Plays are fine, I just don't like that description can be 
limited.
I learned to use "interior" or "exterior" to begin my scenes.  
One other thing that really stuck with me is that when you 
describe what someone is doing, you have to use a separate 
sentence.  Many of the ammateur fellow screenplay writers would 
start by saying something like this:
Pearl (grabbing the cereal box): Mom, we're out of Lucky Charms.
I learned that instead you have to use separate sentences:
Pearl grabs the cereal box.
Pearl: Mom, we're out of lucky charms.
It's honestly not my ideal form of writing, but it's fine.

Subject: [stylist] Playwrights

Hello all,

I was just wondering if there are any other playwrights with the 
Writer's Division.  I've recently taken it up and I quite enjoy 
it.  I have seen not too many plays
posted and I thought I'd like to change that.

Thanks,
Katie Colton
