Writing a movie

I can not put into words (ironically) how alive I feel when writing a screenplay. It is the most invigorating feeling to craft a story and develop characters. It is incredibly addicting and sometimes, it feels like what I would imagine drugs feel like - I need to do it. I can't stop thinking about it. Obviously not all the time but I'll go over ideas in my mind to see if they are realistic enough and try to come up with better ways to write something. I've been doing this a lot in my car. 

Another thing I love to do is listen to all kinds of songs and see if I can play certain scenes in my mind along to the song. Kind of like choosing a soundtrack. 

And I just found this amazing website where you can read all kinds of famous screen plays. I like to do this not only to see formatting for different things but also get other ideas form different screen writers. you get to see how different the directors make the movie from the original version. And how they saw certain things happen. One of my favorite screen plays to read is The Bourne Identity. I'm not sure why. That was one of the few movies that was better than the book and they did a good job working in the most important parts.

Just like books, often, the script is better than the movie.
