Blog 3: IN THREEEEE DEEEEEEEEEE

My first writing goal this semester is to write an entire movie script. Didn't see that coming, did you? It's the heartfelt tale of an evil overlord who ends up fighting against his own empire when he falls in love with a member of the resistance. I am currently in the planning stages for the script, though my plan is to finish the first draft by the end of this year.

My second writing goal is to focus more on the drafting process. In 11th grade, I discovered how much the drafting process can help my work, but was only able to utilize it near the end of the school year. This semester, I intend to start drafting right off the bat, starting with the interview questions.

I am very inspired by the works of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchet. They seem to be the only authors capable of producing quality humorous fiction in their respective genres (science fiction and fantasy). Also of note is Bill Watterson, who was able to create some of the wittiest and most biting social satire of his time in, of all things, a comic strip.
