She's Not So *You*
Tonight, in screenwriting, my teacher called me "Fee", which is the name of the main character in my screenplay and I was like "it's Jenna" and she's like "I know. What did I say?"
It was kindof amusing.
I'm now interchangeable with my protagonist apparently :)
Everyone really liked my most recent work except the general consensus was it was very play-like, because it was so dialogue-heavy, although one guy said I had "a true gift for dialogue" which was nice.
Someone else said it seemed a bit like an episode of a teen drama and then was like "but you know a really good one" and I was like haaa I so don't even take that as an insult. I heart my teen dramas!
It's annoying having to squeeze everything into an hour and a half because...things are moving at the speed of life and not at the speed of a movie and I so wish I was writing my own tv show because I love how much more you can develop characters over a season and it's harder to do that in the space of a movie because everything has to move the plot along and I have to cut out pages and pages of dialogue that I really liked because it's all moving too slowly.
Also, I've been sucking at describing the visual aspects of things and that's kindof crucial to screenplays. By sucking I mean I haven't really been doing it.
Someone said it reminded them of "Ghost World" though, which made me happy because I adore that movie.
Movies I Never Get Tired Of:
Ghost World
All Over Me
Lost and Delirious

Thank you everyone who said kind and helpful things in response to my last post.
I love you guys!
Today I listened to my old school Lindsay/Hilary/Hayley mix and it made me all smiley and happy. It's amazing how listening to positive music can make you see things differently even if it's kindof a fleeting thing.
I can't wait for the world to spin
I can't wait to be happenin
Oh what's it gonna take?

one more mile, one more kiss, one more word, one more wish...
