Thinking about writing a screenplay!
I have watched a TON of movies, and I have begun to get a somewhat decent understanding on how to craft the perfect story. You need something that captures. Like a well crafted horror story, or a thrilling action story. Given that my favorite genre of films is disaster films, I might go ahead and try to make a rough outline, with a log line that really intrigues.The problem is, that most disasters have been pummeled to death. Skyscraper disaster movies: Skyscraper and The Towering Inferno. Extreme disaster movies: Independence day, 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, Armageddon, Deep Impact, San Andreas. Ship disaster movies: Poseidon, Titanic.
I need to come up with a story, that is completely unique. Something that hasn't been done before. I could write a space disaster movie, but Gravity has that covered.
I'm gonna go into thinking mode, and write some stuff down. Who knows, maybe I will write something that will get made into a movie at some point, but that's not my main objective at the moment. I just want to start writing, and write a few complete movies. After that, we'll see what happens.

I actually started working on a crime thriller story a few weeks ago. If I can find it, I will post one of the action sequences I wrote as a separate blog, or as a comment here. I tried to write it as thrilling as possible
