Desires of my heart.

I wanna write a screenplay.

I wanna write a screenplay.

I'm going to see John Piper tomorrow, which could be fun, because he's a great christian author and I work at a great Christian bookstore. Perhaps this will cause a little more motivation toward writing said screenplay, since he's speaking on his latest work, "Don't waste your life."

We college Students will be, Lord willing, inspired. God, help us.

Anyway. I'm sitting here, looking at books about screenwriting, and I saw this great paragraph in, "Screenwriting for Dummies" (yeah, yeah...)

It all begins with an idea. You’re driving through the city (or waiting in traffic as the case may be) and all of a sudden a childhood memory flashes before your eyes. This would make a great film. You’re reading the newspaper and a third page article sparks an array of images. This would make a great film. You’re minding your own business in some public forum when you overhear a startling conversation and—you guessed it—this would make a great film. This part of the book is about the all important idea, finding it, nurturing it, imagining it on the screen. Because you know what? It would probably make a great film, and if you don’t write it, who will?

So, there you go. I'm off to start a screenplay. Yikes. Do you ever feel that you may be meant for something big, but those who have delusions of it are known as schizophrenics? I don't want to cross the line, but I don't want to waste my life. 

I guess when I'm in love with God, it's all a little bit of the crazies sometimes. :)
