Having A Hard Time Adjusting...

I'm having a really hard time adjusting :-(

You know me, I am a literary prose writer. I write novels. I bullshit my way through a plot or a storyline or whatever. Screenwriting is just so different. It's like you're constrained and you're choked in to a tiny space where there is no room for expression and bullshit, and any form of creative writing is actually frowned upon.

"Overwriting," they call it.

Humbug.

Screenwriting is so concise. So sharp. So crisp. Direct-to-the-point no beating around the bush kind of shit.

I'm still having a hard time adjusting, but aside from that, everything else here is fine. Film class is kinda dull & boring. Have to prop up matchsticks on my eyelids just to keep awake, specially through the dreaded 3rd or 4th hour...*shivers*

So far, out of all my classes, I find Editing the least unbearable. The other classes just seem to go on and onn and onnn and fucken onnnn. At least with editing, you get to do your own shit. more room for creative license. more thinking and more direct, hands-on kinda creativity. which is what i originally came here for.

I was not born for the classroom.

I am one of those people who cannot bear being caged for long periods of time.
