Every time I saw you, my face,
Lit up into the biggest of smiles.
Every time we touched my,
Skin tingled, shivers down my spine.
Every time I think of you now,
All I feel is regret, it’s for the best but,
Loving you hurts, just as much now as it did back then.
The mistakes, I repeat them.
Circles, I go round in them.
Stupid situations, I find myself in them.
Stranger’s beds, I wake up in them.
Feelings, I don’t have them.
“I love you”, is what I tell them.
Wanting out, need to get away from them.
A nice guy, that’s what I seem to them.
The façades…they don’t notice them.
I’m done. It’s over. Last assignment has been handed in. Fin.
The end of a long and eventful four year stint of University has finally happened. I submitted my last piece of University work on Monday 6th May. This assignment was my first ever feature film written from start to finish.
I’m not sure how “good” the script is, there is a lot that needs to be redone and I think that when I rewrite it whenever that is, I will be removing the virtual world stuff totally and just focusing on the characters and the theme of “lovers separated”. I will reuse the virtual world back drop for another project possibly, with a different plot because I do like this idea of a virtual world but I just believe it did not benefit the story I ultimately told in the end.
If anyone is interested in reading the full feature film script email me: contact@wordsformwindows.com if you want to give feedback after reading it then be my guest, I will add it to a document and keep it with the script until I redraft it but at this stage feedback is no longer necessary. I will no longer be posting full scripts to here, I will instead do it the way I am with this, where if you’re interested in reading I will happily email it you but I think if I’m looking to get work made I should stop putting it online in its entirety.
Any short films though that I decide to write and make I will happily publish the full things here, for example a short film I want to make called “Impressions” I have already written about but any drafts of that I do in the comings months I will post because that work and the filming will be entirely my own…if that makes sense?
I’d just like to take a minute to thank you all as well. I know I have expressed my thanks numerous times over the recent months and the past years but without your constant help and feedback my writing and scripts wouldn’t be how they are today. WordPress has an amazing community with regards to helping each other out.
Here’s too whatever direction I decide to take now I have graduated! And again, thank you.
Late night train ride. Silent. A few members of crew the only sign of life, the rest of the passengers lie down, heads lolling around, as still as the dead.
I’m so tired. I’d love to be able to sleep like they do, but, sleeping on public transport freaks me out yuo see. No-one to look after my luggae.
Could miss my stop. Well, not this time as this train terminates at my stop. But, you catch my drift. I write to keep myself awake. Keep my mind focused. The can of Kronenbourg I’ve purchased will be counter productive to my efforts of alertness more than likely, but it feels needed.
Had such a busy day today. Up at the crack of dawn, and by crack I mean 7am BST. That is to say that dawn had already, well, dawned.
Met up with some people in the midlands. As a northerner this required a two hour trip each way (hence the early awakening) and minus £25 from my bank account. Totally worth it.
These people of which I speak…I’d never met them before. Not a single one of them. I’d spoken to two of them prior to going but never physically met either of them.
I got to the midlands, Birmingham to be specific, at 11am. And by now I thought the nerves would have kicked in but, to my surprise, the hadn’t. I just wasn’t nervous. This is a great improvement for me all things considered. Meeting new people is always hard for me, I’m shy, unapproachable, just a little awkward. Or so I thought. But this time, I knew where everyone was meeting so I found them and over to them, confident as you like and introduced myself.
Instantly I felt welcome. I guess now’s the time I tell you who I was meeting. Continue reading
Happy birthday my WordsFormWindows family! Today the site turned two and I would just like to say thank you to you all. Over the two years you have helped me improve my writing a hell of a lot, we’ve shared many discussions, arguments and much music. My scripts, poems and stories wouldn’t be the same without you as readers or critics. I am glad to have shared this with you and I look forward to many more years writing for this blog. It is one of my favourite past times and hobbies. Thanks a lot guys!
Hey guys thanks for the feedback had some good stuff both on here and online too so thanks for that. A regularly commenter and someone who always offers great advice and can be brutally honest (which is what you need when you get feedback, constructive criticism) suggested a new opening for my film which I loved. So today whilst I was struggling to get the story going again as I felt like I’d written myself into a corner I decided to just rewrite the opening and now not only do I like it more than the original, it’s laid some foundations for how I can now move the story forward.
This is why I am a strong advocate of getting your work online no matter how crap you may think it is, with a great group of readers you can really get the help or the push you need to get going again, so here is the new opening!
