I have recently been ill. This has given me a fantastic reason to procrastinate with my writing, though I still felt unsure about the direction it was heading anyway. I now have a new idea... I've run it by a few people and it has much more potential for growing into something watchable. In my original script, there would be two concurrent stories running, one being the two main characters just talking about their life and where they have ended up, the other being a series of circumstances in which they (more often than not) made bad decisions causing them to be where they were and addicted to what they were. By the way I know this seems fairly vague at the moment, but I don't have time to get into the details =P
My new idea takes a chunk out of a man's life and basically puts it into a story. It will focus on how this person has chosen to change their surroundings multiple times in order to escape from drugs, but yet unknowingly be drawn back towards similar people time and time again. Considering this person knows few people who haven't been affected by drugs in some way, he questions whether it's his conscious decision or partly the society he lives in. He realises that had he not made seemingly insignificant choices at certain times of his life, everything would be different. Call it coincidence or call it fate, or whatever.... Also the circumstances I mentioned earlier will still be a part of this script, but the story will be more linear and easier to follow. Thoughts?
