Day 3

Each day I keep saying to myself, "I'm going to sew a dress today". But I never do. Story of my life. So tomorrow, maybe? Haha.

Today I did the 3rd unit in the playwriting book. It's still just weird tasks and writing prose. Eh, we'll see where it goes. It does miff me off that he tells you to identify people you know in real life in relation to the theme and then almost create them as characters. It just feels strange writing about people I know. Anyway, I might actually share a bit today since yesterday's post was so teeny tiny.
The three people I identified as linking with my theme were my best friend, a youtuber I love and my friend who is also a youtuber. And one of the tasks was to think of a 'snapshot' and write 75-100 words describing what is happening in that snapshot.

Now my friend worked on a mini series called 'Unnecessary Otter' and it's amazeballs. One of my snapshots was him discovering the otter:

(I changed his name, btw. Just in case. Although I'm pretty sure I don't need to protect his identity as I don't think the mafia are after him.)

"You have a really cool flat" Roger says to his friend, as he stops to look around. The room is filled with weird and wonderful ornaments and knick-knacks, the group of friends have to crane their necks to admire it all. "Do you want a cup of tea? Anyone?" asks Jason, the owner of the flat. He is answered with a series of nods. "Whoa, whoa. Hang on a minute!" exclaims Roger, "What in God's name is this?" He's pointing at a stuffed otter, tucked away on a high shelf. "Oh, I dunno. Got it from a charity shop, I think." But Roger had already fallen in love...

Don't ask me why I chose Roger. And I know it ain't brilliant prose but give me a break! It's only a little fun task. Anywho, till the morrow.
