Last term I was so unwell I barely wrote in this blog, but I struggled through anyway. I got my assignments in and although I know I could have done a better job, sometimes just getting it done is enough of an achievement.
I’m trying to be kinder to myself whilst staying motivated. I plan on writing in this blog a lot more during term 3, I need to get my act together and prove to myself that I can do this; even when I’m ill, even when people I care about die, even when the world outside seems to be going mad.
I’ve started writing down my thoughts and ideas more often in different journals and notepads, but it’s all got a little confusing, so I’m going to buy binders and organisers. While I have many ideas constantly, the delving in and focusing on one of them is more difficult. Sometimes it’s tough just to decide on one idea to focus on in the first place!
Being aware of this difficulty, I’ve started trying to decide between ideas already. Last term was a simple decision- I wrote the treatment for a long term project I had wanted to go back to for a long time. This term I can’t do that, as the format desired is a short film. I can however use this time to get more in depth with my use of the tools and structure we’ve been taught so far.
So the contenders for this term are:
Doris (92) is told she has Lung Cancer and begins to plan an end of life party, when England goes into lockdown she has to find creative ways to stay sane.
In the year 2120 factory workers and home-dwellers haven’t had any contact with each other for over 50years, until today.
“It Could Be Worse” is what Elaine (27) often thinks. Her track record with dating and relationships is laughable and mostly due to her inability to stop the worst sentences falling out of her mouth.
Kia realises she’s stuck in a cold dark room with a maniac she thought she was in love with and has to play the perfect game to escape.
