Canterbury

Still haven't got my writing organised yet! I've been doing some revision and work for college. I've also been going to the gym (haha) and listening to music. Talking of music, here is a great band called Canterbury and their new song "More Than Know".
I saw these guys live at The Joiners, which was one of the best evenings out that I have had for a long time.
I need to tidy and organise my wardrobe for the new college year as well. Fun.

Gosh!

It has been too long since an update. I've been in Tanzania for the past month with my college and with my mum. That was fantastic! I also got my top-ear pieced, which I adore.
I promise that I have been working on scripts and ideas and such. I WILL put the up once they are all organised. :)

p.s

I forgot to add: While in Tanzania I helped to make the video to advertise the college and the trip to people. Sadly, the teacher who was in charge of filming didn't actually let me hold the camera and didn't listen to many of my ideas. Shame. Maybe I'll put the video up sometime in the future.

Lord of the Flies.

First draft is all finished.
It's 30 pages long, so that would make it about half and hour long.
Obviously I will have to bulk it up and add more detail, so I will update that next time!
I can't pick a section to post, so if you want to read it, leave a comment and I'll get back to you.

Excerpt from a short script called "The Walk Home".

This is a very basic script where the only spoken words are from the narrator. My English teacher told my to write about what I know. Therefore, I wrote about walking home from college. "TWH" is short and sweet. Maybe about 5, 6 minutes long.


People with dogs, people playing, people walking, people on
bikes, people sitting talking, people sunbathing.

NARRATOR

(cont.)
Walking their yappy dogs, chucking
an old red Frisbee around, playing
a game that seems to have no rules
or winners. I wanted to join in, but I had to
get home. My parents would worry if
I wasn’t back soon.

A ball is booted over towards GIRL by a mixed group of
youngish people playing football. One of them jogs over to
GIRL, to get the ball.

NARRATOR

(cont.)
Sometimes, a ball would come
heading my way. I would kick it
back, not looking at the person
running towards me. Maybe to thank
me. To smile at me. To ask me my
name.

GIRL looks away. Not in an unkind way, just the way you
would with anybody.

NARRATOR

(cont.)
I would avoid all eye contact. I
didn’t want to look like a
desperate-freak.

An old couple is sitting on a bench with their legs wrapped
in a blanket and a sandwich each. They are chatting to each
other and smiling.

NARRATOR

(cont.)
Old couples sitting on a bench,
talking to each other. Do they have
children? Grandchildren? A pet?

The layout is (I believe) different from how it usually it, but that's how life is. Leave a comment if you want to read more, etc, etc.

Lord of the Flies.

Hey there!
I am currently writing a stage play of Lord of the Flies. I've nearly finished the rough draft, and it's a total of 23 pages long. Woo!

It is a surprisingly intense piece of writing as the story is so dramatic. I've just completed the scene where Simon dies.

It's basically about a group of boys getting stranded on an island and how they survive...or not.

I'll update when I've finished the first draft.

Bye-bye.
